Chapter 1
-Moon
"No! I won't go! Mama and Papa can't make me!!" shrieked a little girl of seven as she ran through the hallways of the Royal Palace in Earth.
A portly maid ran breathlessly after the little princess. "Kora-hime! Come back! Helicon-sama and Aetna-sama will be most displeased if you aren't at the throne room in an hour! Be a good girl! It's for the good of this planet to have a royal representative to the most prestigious place in the Silver Millennium. You know how dangerous it is now to stay on Earth. With the peace talk meetings in Makai, it isn't proper for a girl like yourself to be raised in this situations."
"How about Oniisama!" was the reply shouted back.
"He's a boy, so he's different... Kora-hime!" In a last desperate attempt the maid yelled out, "I'll give you something if you behave!"
The princess finally stopped and backtracked to the maid. She asked suspiciously, "What will you give me, Thea? Tell me now!"
Thea shook her head firmly as she said, "You won't get it unless you're ready and in the Throne Room in one hour."
Realizing that she had been duped, Kora stuck out her tongue at Thea and tried to start running again. But the maid, knowing the princess' antics, wisely picked up the girl, holding her tightly to her bosom before she started walking.
When the door to Kora-hime's chambers closed every servant outside and inside the palace breathed a sigh of relief; even if they would miss the little hime, but for the good of their planet she would have to go. They would miss her laughter and enthusiasm for plays and jokes as time will go on.
After a lot of heartfelt pleading from her okaasama; oniisama (elder than she by five years); and a scolding from her otousama, Kora finally was convinced to go to the Moon with the promise that there would always be letters to her. She would stay on the moon for ten years to train for the duty of protecting the Silver Millennium from invasion from within the tellulunar system -- that is, from the Makai -- as opposed to the other planets, protecting the moon from extratellulunar invasion...
Keiko chuckled as she remembered some of the antics she put the royal staff through. She used to be a real terror sometimes when she was growing up on the earth and the moon. Her memories then turned nostalgic as she remembered meeting the moon princess for the first time.
The little moon princess had immediately hugged her when she arrived at the moon and Kora discovered that they were some sort of kindred spirits... even if she was a year older then Serenity-chan; they were known to cause a lot of trouble. She caused a little mischief for fun, not meaning anything; the only difference with Serenity was that she never did it deliberately—the lunar hime just wanted to help out. Things happen as Serenity always had the best of intentions, but somehow cause more trouble.
Now, Serenity followed Kora's lead in doing anything, as she felt more of a love for her. The other inner and outer princess were always busy doing their own training, two or even six years older then her. Kora was the closest to her in age and her home was so close that Serenity felt that se wanted to stay as close to her friend as possible.
The training at the moon was a happy and wondrous time for Kora. At the beginning of it all, she complained and was forcefully against her training, but that changed when one day she saw a guard fell dead in front of her face, because one of the visiting earth nobles, Beryl decided to kill him out of spite. Quickly banishing the spiteful women from the courts, where Kora would never forget that green hate filled look
After that incident Kora threw herself into training, she realized now that she must train in order to learn how to fulfill her roles as earth's royalty. For reasons unknown, Selentiy gave her a guardian cat named Terra. Kora had quickly gotten use to the guardian following her around giving sound advice. She wondered for a quick moment why Selenity-sama would give her such a gift, but Terra told her not to think much of it.
During the length of time that the princess was there, Kora made friends with all the princesses residing there, but was closest to Princess Serenity in age and to the Outer Senshi, for the similar roles they had in protecting enemies from the outer and yet from the inner. The Inner Senshi's duty was to be Serenity's personal guard.
When time came for Kora to leave the moon, that day something happened...
"GET BACK HERE!" shouted an enormous crowd that included the senshi princesses and most of the royal court chasing Princess Kora and Princess Serenity.
"Why me!" bemoaned Serenity.
"Come on, Serenity! Stop complaining and RUN!" Kora called back.
"I guess we deserved it, but why are almost half of moon's royal court chasing after us? The things we did were really simple... I mean we just wrecked Mako-chan's cake, disturbed Rei-chan's praying, Sets's meditation with Taru-chan, Ruka's harp practice, Michi's kithara practicing, Ami- chan's studying, messed up Mina-chan's primping and upset a few pots, pans, dishes of food, and vases. I mean, Mama wouldn't mind..."
"I don't know, Serenity, but keep on running because you're slowing us down by uttering things that I already know."
"This may really take the cake this time"
"Yeah, I know, but we have to CHARGE!" shouted Kora as she pulled Serenity into jumping over the stone wall to the other side of the court.
Laughing with mirth they ran past an astonished Queen Selenity standing with the human forms of the Guardians, Luna, Artemis and Terra and a another big group of visitors.
When the princesses and almost half the court were out of the room, the group of visitors stared in shock as they saw what just happened... a pair of running royalty, followed by half the court with murder in their eyes.
"Things like this happen almost every single day, but this is the first time I've ever seen such a massive crowd chase after your Kora-sama and Serenity-sama,. Endymion-sama. My apologies on this matter" stated Artemis with a stoic air as Luna and Terra giggled. Selenity smiled beamingly.
The tense air between the moon main court and Earth's representatives broke and there was more ease in talking of Earth and the Moon Kingdom militarily...
A while later, the two princesses walked into the throne room (having been equally tickled by the other senshi and reprimanded by Pluto). Serenity ran to stand beside her mother. They didn't notice the earth representatives, who stood toward the back side of the room.
Curtsying to her over-mistress, Kora said cheerfuly, "Good day, Selenity- sama. May your life be everlasting..."
The queen gave a nod of acknowledgment as she said, "Kora, the time for you to leave us has now com. Look behind you and your brother is here to pick you up."
Kora turned and saw Endymion whom she hadn't seen in almost eight years; they have not seen each other since Kora started to train at the moon. She was now 15, so that makes him 20...
"ONIISAMA!" Kora shrieked as she flung herself into his waiting arms.
"Easy there dear imouto let me look at you. Why, you've grown up to be just as ugly as when you were little," joked Endymion. Kora scowling socked her elder brother on the arm at his jest.
"Ow..." Winced Endymion looking at her with wounded eyes...
Kora laughed and turned to see Serenity-sama looking at them with tears in her eyes. Quickly leaving her brother Kora hugged Serenity tightly as she said in her ear, "Don't worry, Sere-chan. I may be leaving now, but I will always be by your side. It has been wonderful years that we've been together, but know that we have to mature sooner or later. I've swore my fealty to you, for you are the heir to the most powerful throne in the Silver Millennium. Never forget your duties and I shall be there to protect you as with the other senshi.
Then seeing Endymion's shocked expression, pulled Serenity over and introduced them, liking the way her brother and Serenity looked as a couple. Who knows; maybe in a few years, Serenity would be her gishi (sister-in-law).
Caution was important though.
Earth was the last planet to join in the Silver Millennium, before Earth's addition to the silver circle, contact was limited and treated with suspicion between a planet and earth. Kora's home by the other planets thinking, was a backward world; an uncivilized world. For earth was the gateway to two unfamiliar dimensions, the Reikai and the Makai.
Kora at this time learned that her brother had brought a group of new warriors besides the generals-the Hikarimori whose purpose was to be her guards. Their job was to keep peace between the Makai and Earth with help from the Reikai. There were only three Light Keepers (the Hikarimori) so far: Kiyoshi, Ki, and Adon...
The Hikarimori seemed more familiar than just characters from long- forgotten memories. Suddenly Keiko snapped out of her reverie as realization set in. Kiyoshi looked like Kuwabara, Ki like Hiei and Adon looked like Yusuke...but this could be a coincidence. Yusuke didn't act anything like Adon at all; in fact none of the Hikarimori had been anything like the guys that Keiko knew...
Kuwabara was too pompous in what he said; Kiyoshi had very humble personality being a keen strategist. Hiei was too cold and silent to be Ki because Ki had had a very warm and talkative nature. He was more concerned with being in the center of things then Hiei's loner personality. Adon-- well, their facial features were similar... their height and hair were different. Adon had been taller and his longer hair had been tied back in a queue. Yusuke was shorter and had slick back hair.
Adon had been the love of Kora's life. He'd been chivalrous, honest to a fault, possessing a very strong will and a great sense of justice. Keiko could never be sure about where Yusuke's was going with his honesty...
She knows in her heart that she'd always love Yusuke, but now there was the memory of another man. Keiko wasn't really sure about what to do... Kora never knew how Adon died, so maybe he was also reborn again... if fate should decide that she'd meet the reincarnation of Adon again, she would have to figure out where to go from there...
All was well; Endymion and Serenity fell in love while Kora fell for Adon. He was the same age as Kora, one of the youngest men to ever become a Hikarimori. Their relationship progressed when Kora went back to Earth as further training to help regulate and negotiate with Makai. She spent long period of times in Maikai making friends and making treaties for peace.
When Kora was twenty-one, however communication between Earth and Makai was abruptly cut off. Kora was forbidden to go for diplomatic trips to Makai while the Hikarimori stayed with the Reikai.
Puzzling as for the reason why the sudden events, she went back to the moon. The last Kora heard about the Makai was that Reikai still managed to keep unsteady treaties upheld...
For several months the moon had handled a rumor going around the Silver Millennium about an evil group on earth named Dark Kingdom...
Relations between the Silver Millennium and Earth at first started to grow cold. Some people began to regard Kora with suspicion. Through all this turmoil Serenity still faced this obstacle with pure clearheaded optimism, saying that she would marry Endymion soon and all would be well.
Having lived in peace for such a long time, the Silver Millennium didn't know how to react to this new rumor. It was shocking when contact with the outer planets was abruptly cut off from the moon. Rumors were starting to fly around that the Outer Senshi were dead.
Kora had stood firm in staying on the moon, when Endymion asked her to go back to Earth with him. She ignored the people's suspicions towards her, deciding to stay at the moon to protect the heart of the Silver Millennium, upholding her oath of utmost fealty. Endymion had to go back to Earth to check on their parents and see if the armies of earth were strong enough to withstand this strange threat.
The Dark Kingdom attacked the Moon Kingdom when they were having Serenity's 'coming of age'-ball.
The citizens of the moon steeled themselves when Terra, Luna and Artemis came running in crying, "We're under attack!"
Kora had remembered seeing her brother at the ball with his mask... she knew that her brother must have come back to the moon specifically for this ball. He must have had no knowledge of the Dark Kingdom forces following him here...
Serenity was escorted to her rooms for safety.
Kora knew the Earth had fallen. Knowing that Adon and the Hikarimori would be safe with the Reikai had her praying for their continued safety, she transformed into Sailor Gaea as the Dark Kingdom minions attacked.
Being Sailor Gaea gave her a great strength in controlling elements that were known on earth and also allowed her the power to touch anyone and copy their powers for short periods of time. This made her one of the strongest senshi, equaling Sailor Pluto, who had the power to stop time, and Sailor Saturn, who had the power to destroy a planet.
However there was a drawback in being one of the strongest sailor senshi: if they were to use their own powers to the limit it would cost them their lives... so only Sailor Gaea was allowed to use her special power without the threat of her dying, but even that drawback, They would die when their powers were depleted. While all the other senshi were fighting vigilantly at the battleground, they fell one by one.
Youma was shadows made from the grief and hatred of mankind it completely disallow her abilities in absorbing the enemies own powers. Yet even if the youma was successfully defeating the Moon Kingdom's army, what was puzzling was the fact that there was another kind of monster helping the army of youma. Gaea found out that she also, couldn't absorb their power, so it was only proven inevitable when one of the stronger youmas teamed up with another monster, to strike Gaea.
Stricken with pain, Gaea dropped to the cold ground as her life's blood poured out of her.
Weakly her eyes watched as the team of fiends that killed her ran away to attack another person; she saw from the corner of her eye, her brother being killed in the distance. She also saw Sailor Jupiter the last of the moon princess's guard fell at Nephrite's hand. Her mind slowly processed the fact that the earth generals had betrayed Endymion's trust...
Gaea felt deeply heartbroken. Everyone she ever loved weren't here or had already died. Evil was winning, so at the end, all was for naught...what was the reason to try and survive?
Weakly her eyes focused on the realization that Serenity had killed herself with a sword to her hear at the death of Oniisama. Finally the strain of keeping her eyes open failed her and Sailor Gaea closed her eyes for one last time. Her last thoughts were of happy memories with Adon and of a hope for peace as a white light filled her mind.
Her memories were then fast-forwarded. Keiko saw herself as a little girl in a car with two grownups and a boy. Keiko realized then that these people were her real family. Her parents and brother! With another shock at that point, Keiko realized that although these people had engendered her and the Yukimuras had raised her, both were equally her parents.
With growing horror, Keiko saw the car plunge down a cliff and of herself being flung outside the open car window. Then there was nothing until the memory of herself waking up somewhere and crying out, "Who am I?!"
Thoughts filled with the pain and sadness of the memories of the past and present made Keiko start weeping quiet tears.
"Kora. What's in the past is done and over with, you must look towards hope for the future instead. You must know now that my daughter and the Inner Senshi had defeated the Dark Kingdom a few years back. My daughter is now a senshi as with the rest of your fellow senshi's comrades. With several different enemies, the senshi had gained stronger powers and have united with the Outer senshi. There is now a strong new dark force that is going to attack and the senshi will need your help. I know it won't make up for the loss of your parents but I have here someone here that you would remember fondly. Terra..."
-Tokyo District
"Where can she be? It's been several weeks already. Keiko doko ne!" shouted Yusuke as he strived to search for his girlfriend. Several days of a bead shadow covered his face making him look even more menacing as people cleared the path. None of them were able to find her. He had gone back to Reikai several times and even if Koenma knew, he wouldn't tell up to the point that Yusuke started to yell curses that would bloodied the ears of those that listened. It had taken several oni's and Botan's oar whack to calm down the man. Koenma would only tell Yusuke to wait. Keiko was not dead and will be back soon, so now Yusuke could only walked tiredly as Kuwabara and Kuranma tried to calm him down. He nearly broke down at the continued disappearance of her. The Yukimura ramen-ya remained closed as the Yukimura mourned the passing of their daughter.
-Hikawa Jinja.
Everyone was gathered there for their normal afternoon meeting when Tsukino Usagi noticed that something was wrong with her boy friend. He had dark circles under his eyes and stared languidly ahead of him. She went over to him and tucked her arm into his asking, "Daijobu Mamo-chan? Is something the matter?"
"Daijobu Usako... Anoh... I was just having some dreams lately."
"What kind of dreams were they?"
"I don't know, but it had a young girl. I was very worried about her, and that's all."
Rei, sitting on Usagi's other side, spoke up, "Is the girl in the background with the Moon Kingdom's fall?"
Mamoru nodded, "That's what I'm having. She is wearing a..."
"A senshi-suit.? I just had a vision of another senshi yesterday. So, did she wear a senshi outfit, Mamoru-san?" inquired Michiru.
Mamoru shook his head.
"Has anyone else been having dreams of this person other then Rei, Michiru and Mamoru-san?" asked Luna.
"This might be the appearance of another senshi. One that Luna and I may have forgotten," placed in Artemis.
"We could ask Setsuna-mama. She'll probably know who this person is," said Tomoe Hotaru quietly.
"Hotaru, I don't think we could reach her now. She said that something had come up and she'll see us in a few days," stated Michiru.
Hotaru nodded as everyone fell silence.
"Minna-san, we should investigate and look more into this. There's no possibility that there can be another planet's senshi that we know about. The only planet that I can detuct without having a senshi would be earth," Mizuno Ami, looking up from her palmtop.
"Right. Sailor senshi's has always been the role of a female. So that wouldn't make Mamoru the senshi. He's only the prince. Would the senshi you're all talking about is the senshi of earth?" Minako said.
Artemis looked at his charge with surprise as he said, "Minako...what happen. You wouldn't say something as intelligent as that."
"Quiet you. I'm the great and intelligent Aino Minako. So pipe down," shouted Minako quickly squashing her cat.
"In any case, minna-san, does the girl, look anything like this?" said Michiru, waving for everyone's attention. "I was sketching an image of what she looked like in my dreams." Holding up her sketchpad, she showed everyone what she'd drawn.
Everyone gasped when they saw the image... a sketch of a comely laughing girl. Although the details of the picture were few, it clearly revealed and showed enough facts to prove the identity of the girl.
After studying the sketch for a while, Usagi finally said, "So if we have such dreams of Kora, I really don't think she is connected with the enemy...I have a suggestion to make, why don't we wait till Setsuna-san comes back? Then we can ask her about this."
-Moon
The moment Queen Selenity finished saying that name. A woman with exceptional beauty having brown hair and blue eyes appeared from behind a pillar. What made Keiko stare in shock was the light blue earth sigil linked with a small silver crescent moon on her forehead...
"Terra?" whispered Keiko as abruptly Terra's body morphed into an alert- looking calico cat.
"Milady!" cried Terra as she jumped into Keiko's arms. Purring and crying with happiness of seeing her mistress alive before her eyes.
Terra was still Princess Kora's Guardian Cat—she had been sleeping cryogenically in an enclosed tube to survive 1000 years on the moon keeping Selenity's spirit company, until several days earlier. Selenity-sama's spirit had awaken her up and told her to wait patiently for Kora.
The cat guardian had been weak at first, but her strength came back and however long it might be...Terra had vowed that she would wait for her mistress. She was sleeping in the shadows of the ruins when the Inner senshi were on the moon talking to Selenity's hologram.
It had been a terrible, heart-wrenching time during the destruction of the Silver Millennium, but that was all in the past; the Moon Kingdom's reign was now over. Been over for eons...
Every planet of the Silver Millennium was now uninhabitable, except for Earth...
-Reikai
Enma-Daioh meditated as he felt something stirred in his heart. Soon he would have to face her again.
-Moon
The moments when she saw her milady recount the memories of her past, Terra behind the pillar had wondered on how Luna and Artemis were on her long hiatus away from the other sailor senshi. How she missed talking to Luna, her closest friend besides Milady. She had dearly missed teasing Artemis, sometimes about his lack of a love life, as any male cat wouldn't be having. She had suspected that Artemis had a thing for Luna, but never got around to asking him what his intentions were, if he had any feelings at all.
She also wondered for a fleeing moment now, if Milady had found Tono-sama's reincarnation in this life. Terra knew that her mistress wasn't Princess Kora anymore, rather the reincarnation of a girl named Yukimura Keiko.
Keiko pulled away from Terra after a long moment and set her on the ground and looked at her with tears in her eyes.
Terra had learned from Queen Selenity about Keiko's plight this life. She also knew another situation that Keiko didn't know...yet, since the time was not right yet. That problem would solve itself when that man summons for her milady.
Terra knew the pain and grief going through Keiko now, was similar to what Princess Kora had known in her life. Because of being sent away at such a young age, Kora was estranged from her parents. She never really knew her parents even before they died, as she had not gone back home when she was on Earth negotiating in Makai.
The cat guardian knew that her charge had often felt alone despite Serenity- sama and the sailor senshis' companionship. Endymion-sama wasn't there always with her so it wasn't until Tono-sama [Adon] came into Milady's life showing her what it was to have true unrequited love. But a few months before the destruction of the moon, Terra learned that Milady broke off her relationship with Tono-sama with no obvious reason.
Terra wasn't sure if she wished for her charge to meet up with the reincarnation of Tono-sama in this lifetime, for if this new foe were successfully vanquished, after a few more years, a time of sleep would descend on earth. Then a new peaceful time would come again, this period would last longer then the Silver Millennium... This period was to be called Crystal Tokyo, which was to be ruled by Princess Serenity on earth with Prince Endymion.
The sailor senshi -- including Kora-sama -- would be helping Serenity rule and establish new life on the old planets of the Silver Millennium. They would have to break off any love relations that they had.
Terra knew that breaking off with loved ones was a very cold prospect, but that was to be done. Yet wouldn't the prevention of meeting any amours be the good thing to do? That was one of the main reasons that sailor senshi was sent at an early age to the moon to be trained for a period of years. During the Silver Millennium it had always been expected for any sailor senshi to devote their lives for the welfare of the person they sworn to protect.
After a long period of waiting patiently, Queen Selenity coughed from behind Keiko in order to make her presence known and acknowledged.
When Keiko turned back to the Queen, Selenity said, "Your time here on the moon with me, learning about your past, has been long enough. I will have to send you back to earth because it has been a few earth week on the moon here."
Keiko wasn't at all surprised when she heard the amount of time she spent on the moon, knowing from more moon studies that time was different then on earth. Her adopted parents were probably worried about her and Yusuke would have been frantic, but Keiko knew that she would have reunited with the other senshi, thus breaking off some intimacy with people that had known her as Yukimura Keiko. She smiled softly at her over-mistresses as she gave respects to her in the highest honor that she could give; because with this awakening, she swears once again to protect Serenity at the cost of her life.
"Setsuna will be there to greet you when you return to earth. One more thing; Serenity's name in this lifetime is Tsukino Usagi. She lives in another part of Tokyo. Luna found her and three of the Inner Senshi, Artemis found Venus. The Outers excluding Pluto were awakened when the others faced an evil being called Pharaoh 90 that appeared after the Inners defeated the Dark Kingdom and another evil force called the Black Moon. The sailor senshi, except for Setsuna, have retained very little memories of the Moon Kingdom. Sailor Pluto has, since the destruction of the Moon Kingdom, been at the Time Gate guarding it from enemies who might want to disturb the structure of time -- whether for evil or good I wouldn't know: you would have to ask her about that. I'm sure you remember what you were taught about the Time Gate."
Keiko nodded as she recited from memory, a piece of knowledge from the Moon Kingdom, "The Time Gate is a portal to anywhere in time. Only a descendent from the House of Coronus can guard the Time Gate. Time is a very sensitive matter and you have to be cautious with it otherwise it would cause consequences that you would have to face."
Selenity smiled and said, "You do remember your lessons from the Moon Kingdom. Anyhow when Luna first found her, she didn't realize that Usagi was my daughter-Princess Serenity. By mistake, she made Usagi into a senshi- Sailor Moon. However when trying to find the pieces of the broken Ginzuishou to defeat the awaken Dark Kingdom, the Inners and Luna found out who was the reincarnation of Serenity."
Keiko looked confused as she replied, "But Selenity-sama, there was never a senshi of the moon before. Why is there one now? There has never been a need for one; we were always there to protect the Princess of the moon."
"That is Luna's fault, Kora. She didn't realize that Serenity's present form was Princess Serenity, so there was a mishap. You do recall all the times you got into trouble with my daughter?" Queen Selenity asked as Keiko nodded.
Seeing her response, Selenity said, "Her present reincarnation still has that same problem she faced when she was growing up with you. She'll grow out of it as you will know."
Keiko asks, "Does that mean Rei-chan's still clash with her?"
"It's ten times worse now, according to Setsuna, however I'm pretty sure that it's all in fun and games."
Keiko grinned, as she felt different, changed somehow.
"Now that you have a basic understanding of Serenity's present status, I'll continue as there is more information you must know: Serenity has discovered that she has a daughter, also named Serenity, who comes from the future with Pluto and her future self's permission to train. The child's father is your brother Endymion. However she wouldn't be there when you return to earth now, you would meet her in time."
Keiko looked surprised when she heard this fact, but kept on grinning as she remembered how much in love her brother and Serenity had been during the Moon Kingdom.
"Serenity and Endymion have been reunited. His present self is a man called Chiba Mamoru. You both share the same parents, as in your last lives, although you were more fortunate then your brother: he grew up in an orphanage rather than being adopted like you. Also like you, Mamoru had amnesia so he doesn't remember the fact that he has a sister. Mamoru, however, using the pain and desperation of discovering his own past, is, like my daughter, also a protector of Tokyo- Serenity now also have three identities: her regular one, her princess self, and her senshi form, Sailor Moon. You would have to ask the senshi when you return to earth for more details on what they did in this present life. During the end of the Silver Millenium, when I saw that Serenity was dead, in my grief I acknowledge that fact and with my power, I defeated the Dark Kingdom, banishing them back to earth. I then sent everyone including you to earth to have a new life. Luna and Artemis, I also sent to earth in case the Dark Kingdom should awaken. When they were waken to defeat Beryl once more, you weren't needed, but you are now needed to help defeat this enemy..." Selenity stopped as she waited for Kora to absorb the facts. When she saw that Kora understood that fact, Selenity went on talking.
"Pluto would explain your presence in the senshi's lives now. As I said, the senshi, your brother, and the cat advisors have so little memory of the Moon Kingdom except that of the last battle, that they probably don't remember your existence in their life on the Moon Kingdom; everyone believes that Mamoru, your brother, is the Guardian of Earth, despite knowing the law that a senshi must be a daughter of the royal family. The reason I've summoned you here is to awaken you so that you can take care of Terra. She will give your henshi rod"
Selenity then said, "One last thing before you leave; when you return to Earth and see my daughter, please give her this brooch and caduceus. These are to be her new powers. The brooch will summon powers that are even stronger than her present power as Eternal Sailor Moon. She still would be called that name but she would have to call out 'Infinite Moon Power Make- Up' if she wants to transform. If she wants to use the caduceus, she would have to say, "Infinite Imperial Crystal Beam!' For the strongest power that is to be used under no circumstances other then emergency purposes, she would have to cry out, "Moon Perpetual Imperial Crystal Power!' Kora I request that you tell her that I'll always be with her, that I love her...and I hope that she will find peace on earth."
Keiko nodded seriously as she took the golden-silver moon brooch [1]. Queen Selenity said, "Arigatou gozaimasu..." as she smiled, bade her farewell, fading off and leaving Keiko alone. The new awaken senshi of earth held Terra in her arms as she then walked towards the portal that was to take her back to Earth, where she would see everyone once more...
-Earth, Tokyo Park
It was nighttime. A lone woman dressed in a lavender miniskirt suit waited patiently near the park from which Keiko had disappeared.
Meioh Setsuna checked her watch as she looked toward the lake. She smiled a small smile when a light from the moon shone down in front of her. Setsuna then waited as a figure materialized holding a cat. She waited patiently until Yukimura Keiko acknowledged her presence; then she greeted the senshi of earth cordially.
Rubbing her hands across her eyes, Keiko noticed that her clothes had reverted back to normal. Looking around, she saw a familiar figure several steps away. She smiled and asked politely, "Genki desu ka, Setsuna-san?"
"I've been fine, Kora-chan -- or is it Yukimura Keiko now?"
"Keiko is my identity now, Setsuna, but friends call me Keiko-chan. How much time has passed on earth since Selenity-sama summoned me?"
Setsuna nodded, saying, "It has been one month. I know about the situation you had with your adopted parents so I can understand that you might not want to live with them. I could take you in to live with Hotaru-chan, Haruka, Michiru and myself. The outers and I live in a mansion together, so there is more then enough space..."
Keiko nodded as she replied, "I would be ever so grateful, Setsuna..."
Terra said, "Arigato gozaimasu Setsuna-sama."
"There's no need to say thanks when we are like family. Mamoru-sama will be ecstatic when he realizes that his sister is alive. The same holds true for Usagi-sama," answered Setsuna, as she motioned to Keiko to follow her to her parked car.
When they reached there, Keiko got into the car with a silent Terra. Setsuna got in and turned to Keiko to say, "When we get back to the house, I'll call a meeting of the sailor senshi."
Keiko nodded and said, "That would be fine, but still...about the enemy, how will I know when there is a battle to be fought?"
Setsuna chuckled and responded, "Don't worry, Keiko-chan. We will give you a communicator for contacting the senshi when there is a battle to be fought."
Keiko nodded as she sat quietly with Terra while Setsuna drove them to the mansion.
-Rekai
"So she's back. Koenma, send out word to the Reikai Tantei to not communicate with Yukimura Keiko unless if she initiates it." Commanded Enma- Daioh in the darken space.
"That will be done. Botan, notify Yusuke that Keiko is around, but don't tell them of where she is. For I know that she will be withdrawing from her local high school for more important purposes."
End Chapter 1
