Today's chapter! Even though I had this written by last week (I finished writing this 82 page fic in one week), I blame any and all insanity on my 8am exam today.
Elphie Muse: Though you've proven before this exam to be highly insane.
You're point?
Elphie Muse: ...-.-;;;...
And, is it bad I finisheda 76 multiple choice question test in approximately 20 minutes?
Elphie Muse: I dunno. I've never had to take a test before in my life.
Lucky...
Not mine...:sniffle:...
"You want me to age this picture?" Ami asked, looking at the picture of the four-year-old brother Usagi handed her.
"Yeah. By like seventeen years," Usagi said.
"Can I ask why?" Ami inquired.
"He's my older brother," Usagi answered. "From what I found out, he vanished about seventeen years ago. I wanted to see what he would look like now."
Ami nodded and scanned the picture into her small computer. She tapped a few buttons before turning to Usagi. "This will take a while," she said. Usagi nodded in understanding. "Is he even alive?"
The blonde shrugged. "I don't know. I hope so."
The computer beeped and Ami looked at the screen. Her mouth fell open in shock. "I…I don't believe it…" she stammered.
"What?" Usagi asked. Ami turned the computer to her. Usagi's eyes widened. "You're kidding!" she exclaimed, drawing the attention of several customers of the café they were in.

"What?" Makoto, Minako, and Rei demanded, staring wide-eyed at Usagi and Ami as they showed the pictures.
"He…he…he's your…your…" Minako stammered.
Usagi nodded. "Though I don't know how to tell him," she said.
"Good point," Rei said. "He might not believe you."
"What should I do?" Usagi asked.
"Just tell him," Makoto said. "If he doesn't believe, then ask if he'd be willing to do one of those DNA test things."
"My mother could do that," Ami said.
"Now I just need to find him," Usagi said.

Kael parked his motorcycle on the street and got off. He pulled off the black helmet; a silver wolf painted on the black, and set it on the seat. He looked at Sam who had taken her helmet off. She put on a pair of mirrored sunglasses.
"I'll be back," he told her.
"Take your time," she said. He smiled and nodded before going into the large office building. She leaned against a pole near the bike, letting the warm sun beat down on her face. A small smile graced her face for she finally felt somewhat relaxed.
"We don't even know where to start looking for them!" a familiar voice said.
Sam opened her eyes and saw the five Inner Senshi heading towards her. She remained still, praying that they wouldn't see her. "He could be anywhere in this city and we don't even have a car to drive around to look for him!" Usagi went on.
"We've barely even started to look," Rei said as they passed Sam. They walked by without really noticing her.
Sam sighed in relief when Kael came out. "Ready?" he asked.
She nodded, quickly pulling the helmet on. "All set," she said.
As he reached for his helmet, Minako had turned at the sound of his voice. "Usagi!" she exclaimed, pointing.
Kael put his helmet on and got onto the bike. He started the engine and began driving away while Usagi ran as hard as she could to catch up to him. He glanced in his side mirror after several moments and stopped the bike.
Usagi skidded to a halt, panting heavily. Kael pulled his helmet off. "Hey, I recognize you from the other day," he said. "You all right?"
"I…need…to talk…to you…" she wheezed.
"What about?" he asked. He pulled the bike over to the side of the street.
Usagi caught her breath and pulled out the picture. "Do you recognize this?" she asked, handing him the picture.
He took the picture and stared at it. His eyes grew wide and he stumbled back, sitting down hard on the curb. Sam jumped off the bike. "Kael, are you all right?" she demanded, concern in her eyes.
"It's…it's…me…" he stammered, showing her the picture. He looked at Usagi. "How did you get this? How did you know it's me?"
"I had a friend age it and we recognized you. As to how I got it…" she trailed off and sat down next to him. "I got it from my family's photo album."
He frowned. "Family?"
"My name is Tsukino Usagi."
"I recognize the name, but…" he trailed off.
"What about DNA testing? Couldn't that prove or disprove you two are related?" Sam suggested.
"My friend's mother is a doctor. She's willing to do the test," Usagi said.
"Her name?" Kael asked.
"My friend's name is Mizuno Ami. Her mother is…"
"Doctor Mizuno. I know her," Kael said. He rose to his feet, still shaking from the shock. "Um…can we do this now?"
Usagi nodded. "If you're able," she said.
"What's up?" a voice asked.
"Haruka!" Usagi exclaimed.
"What's going on?" the Outer Senshi asked, pulling her motorcycle helmet off.
"Can you take me to the hospital?" Usagi asked.
"You all right?" Haruka asked.
"I'm fine. But…well it's kinda personal," she said.
Haruka nodded and handed Usagi her spare helmet. "It was Kael, right?" she asked him. He nodded. "You gonna be okay to drive?"
"I'll take him," Sam said. "Just lead the way."
They soon arrived at the hospital and walked in. Before going in, Sam pulled on a baseball hat and put her sunglasses on. "Usagi, what brings you here?" Doctor Mizuno asked, recognizing the blonde. Usagi quickly explained. "Of course I'll help," Mizuno said. "This way please," she said. She led them to an empty room and pulled out two sealed swabs. "This will take some time, but thanks to the new computers we have now, it shouldn't take too long." She instructed Usagi and Kael to open their mouths and ran the cotton tip of the swab along the inside of their cheek. She sealed them back up and left the room, promising to return once the results were back.
Kael nervously paced around the room for several minutes, unable to sit still. "You look like a caged wild animal," Haruka said.
He smiled in apology. "I know…I just…I never really knew my real family. Don't get me wrong though. The family that took me in were kind as could be and I consider them my real family but…I want to know my real parents…my birth family." He leaned against the wall and slid down into a sitting position on the floor. He ran his hands through his shaggy blonde hair and rested his arms on his knees. "I'd pretty much given up hope of ever finding them."
"It's dangerous to give up hope," Usagi said.
Sam hid a smile. "Sounds like something you'd say," she said to Kael. He merely shrugged in response.
Haruka frowned. "Who are…" she began when Mizuno walked in.
"Good news," the doctor said. "You two share alleles." She smiled. "You're brother and sister."
Kael started laughing and crying, Usagi doing the same. The two hugged before drawing Sam and Haruka into the hug. Kael looked at Mizuno. "Thank you," he said.
Mizuno smiled. "I'm glad I could help. Here are the results if you need them for any legal purposes."
Kael took the papers and nodded, drying his eyes. "Thank you," he said again.

Usagi ran into her house, pausing just long enough to remove her shoes. "MAMA!" she bellowed at the top of her lungs.
"Usagi please don't shout," her mother said wearily.
"What's with all the noise?" her father, Kenji, asked. "Who is this?" he asked, noticing a nervous Kael.
Kael gave a small bow, tightly gripping his leather motorcycle gloves. "I'm… uh…I'm…" he stammered.
Usagi pulled the papers out of his pocket and handed them to her parents. The two adults stared at them, tears beginning to stream down her mother's face. Kael scratched the back of his head and stepped forward as they looked at him in shock.
"This…this is…real?" her father said.
Usagi nodded. "Doctor Mizuno ran the test herself."
Her mother took a halting step towards Kael. She suddenly rushed into his arms and held him tightly. "My little boy! You're back! You're back!" she sobbed.
"I…I don't believe it…" Kenji said.
Ikuko broke away and looked Kael over. "You've gotten so tall," she said.
"Five eleven…give or take," he said. "Um…I don't know if it was my real name or not, but I remembered being called Kael."
Their father grinned. "That is what we named you. Mostly because of how hard you fought to get into this world," he chuckled, wiping moisture from his eyes.
"So…did you and the family that took you in move here?" mother asked.
Kael looked down, absently biting his lower lip. "Actually…the couple that raised me died a few years ago," he said. "Robbery gone bad."
"I'm so sorry," Ikuko said.
Kael shrugged. "They taught me a lot." He glanced down at his watch. "I'd love to stay and catch up, but I need to get back to work," he said. "However, I was planning on having a get-together party thing tonight if you guys didn't already have plans."
"We have plans now," Kenji said.
Kael smiled. "Good. Feel free to bring friends along if you want. The room is rather large and imposing without a decent size crowd."
"Oh honey, don't worry about trying to impress us," Ikuko said. "We don't need a big fancy party. Don't go to any trouble, please."
"Oh it's no trouble," Kael said. He pulled out a pen and a piece of paper and wrote an address and time down. "I'll see you guys tonight then." He handed them the paper and left the house, unable to wipe the grin off of his face.
"This…this can't be right…" Kenji said, looking at the address. "This place is far too expensive."
"We'll just have to wait and see," Ikuko replied.

"You sure you want us to come?" Ami said. "Shouldn't you all catch up first?"
"He said it was okay," Usagi said. "Please come? Haruka and the others are coming. And so are Seiya and them."
"We were going to try and see if Sam was okay…" Makoto began when she and the others saw the pitiful look in Usagi's eyes. "But we can do that in the morning…"
"Yay!" Usagi exclaimed as they walked down the street.
A shadowy figure watched them pass by, a cold smile on his face. "Reunited families are sure to have pure souls…" Akuma whispered. He shimmered out of view.

"I don't think we're in the right place," Kenji said.
"You made it!" Kael said from across the room. He wore soft brown leather boots, loose black pants, a dark midnight blue coat buttoned up, and black gloves. His shaggy blonde hair had been combed and tied back with a leather strap, the strange Y earring glinting in the light.
"Why so dressed up?" Usagi asked.
"Meeting," he muttered.
"Kael, how can you afford this?" their mother asked.
"O-dango-Usa didn't tell you?" he asked.
Usagi glared at him. "Usagi!" she told him.
"O-dango-Usa sounds better," her little brother, Shingo, snickered. She smacked him on the head. "Hey!"
"The last name I was raised with was Kaminotsuki," Kael said. His parents stared at him in awe. "Which I'm guessing you heard of…"
"You…you work for Wolfmoon Industries?" their father exclaimed.
"Sorta," Kael said, color rising in his face. "I actually own the company." He grinned in embarrassment. "Surprise?"
"At least we don't have to worry about his future," Kenji said.
Kael chuckled. "Well…now that we're all here, how about we start this party?"

Haruka took a sip from her drink, idly watching as Minako, Makoto, Rei, and even Ami fought over who got to dance with the Three Lights. "What do you think of Usagi's newfound brother?" she asked.
"Unexpected, but her parents seem so happy," Michiru said.
"He does donate a lot of the money he makes to charities all over the world," Hotaru said. "He seems like a nice person."
"Though it does feel like he's hiding something," Setsuna added.
"Agreed. Maybe we should keep an eye on him, make sure he's no threat to Usagi and the others," Haruka suggested.
"Haruka!" Michiru said in a low, sharp voice.
The Outers turned and watched as a familiar blonde figure came into the room. She wore a midnight blue gown and dark blue sandals. She made her way across the room and over towards Kael.
"What's Sam doing here?" Hotaru asked.
Sam slowly approached Kael and his family. He turned and smiled. "Mother, father, this is Samantha. She's a good friend of mine who went through some rough times recently."
"Nice to meet you," the two said.
"Likewise. I'm glad Kael was able to find his family," she said. "I'm gonna go get something to drink," she said, excusing herself. She made her way over to the bar and got a glass of water.
"Sam!" Usagi exclaimed.
Sam let out a slow breath and steeled herself for what was to come. She turned and faced the Inner Senshi and Three Lights. "Everyone," she said cautiously as the Outers came over as well.
"You got a lot of guts coming here after what you've done," Haruka said.
"I'm not proud of what I did. And I don't expect your forgiveness either," Sam said. "I just want to try and make up for what I've done. Though that may not happen in this life," she said.
"It wasn't your fault Sam," Ami said, surprising everyone. "You weren't yourself." She gave Sam a small smile.
A yell and a thud made them all turn. Kael was crumpled against a wall while a dark skinned man with red hair advanced towards Usagi and Kael's parents. "Run!" Usagi screamed. Her little brother managed to snap out of his shock and ran out the door, not realizing his parents weren't behind him.
Akuma ignored her. Black mist formed around his hands and he plunged them into the two adults. He removed his hands, the Soul Spheres sliding out. Akuma grinned in triumph when the light faded slightly. "No!" he snarled. He vanished in a wave of black lightening.
"Moon Eternal Spirit! Make UP!"
"Mercury Spirit Power!"
"Mars Spirit Power!"
"Jupiter Spirit Power!"
"Venus Spirit Power!"
"Make UP!"
"Uranus Spirit Power! Make UP!"
"Neptune Spirit Power! Make UP!"
"Saturn Spirit Power! Make UP!
"Pluto Spirit Power! Make UP!"
"Fighter Star Power! Make UP!"
"Healer Star Power! Make UP!"
"Maker Star Power! Make UP!"
Sam ran to Kael's side as the twelve Senshi engaged the two Soul Phages. "You all right?" she asked.
He sat up, rubbing the back of his head. "Where are my parents?"
"They've…been turned into a Soul Phage. I'm sorry," Sam said.
Kael pulled himself up, watching as the Senshi were losing the upper hand. He clenched his fists. Damn it…what do I do? If I transform here, they'll know. But if I don't, my parents are dead…
"Kael, are you all right?" Sam asked.
Moon let out a cry of pain as she was sent flying back into the wall. "They're too strong!" Fighter yelled.
"We have to do what we can!" Jupiter yelled back.
"Enough!" Kael bellowed. The two Phages stopped and looked at him.
"Get out of here! There's nothing you can do!" Uranus yelled at him.
"That's where you're wrong," Kael said in a low voice. A small ball of silver energy formed in his hand. He shot his hand up in the sky and the energy sphere flew up. It fell back over him, transforming him into Nightwolf.
"No way…" Venus said.
The truth is now out there! What will happen next? You'll have to wait till tomorrow to find out! Aren't I evil?
