Chapter 2

Artemis paced the control room. He was worried sick the creature just said she was safe but where was she? was she even alive. If anything happened to his girl he wasn't sure how much longer he could live with himself.

"She's like a daughter Luna. I've been keeping her safe since she was thirteen years old. She can be irresponsible at times, but I love her. She's my girl, just like Usagi is yours. And I'm not there for her. I don't even know if she is still alive."

"Yes you do," Luna answered, looking nearly as worried as he felt. "Usagi would know. You would know. We will bring her home Arty. I promise you."

"Luna," Artemis rubbed his cheek against hers. "I miss her."

"I know Arty. I know. Until we get her back, maybe you could help me with Mamoru. He needs a bit of guidance too. Maybe a male perspective would help."

"The prince of earth had an adviser, someone from Elysion, I don't know whether he is awakened or even alive so I will put my paw in to give him the gentle push.

Luna nodded. "I promise arty we will find them." she nuzzled against him and licked his cheek her eyes dark "Art, let's transform to our human selves"

Artemis eyes widened as felt himself get excited at her words he took his much smaller wife's scruff in his teeth and ran to their temporary bedroom

Many hours later Luna woke from her slumber Cold and missing the heat of her lover she covered her naked form and padded quietly to the control centre looking around for Artemis.

She found him a couple of minutes later back in cat form and working at an inhuman pace on the computer keyboard.

Luna checked the computer screen, then turned back to Artemis. "How did you get a tracking device on Usagi," she asked.

"I put them in the new communicators. I won't Let you lose Usagi the way I lost Minako. Now, you won't have to."

"You've been to see her?" Luna blushed Artemis nodded

"She has communicators for the other three and an upgraded one for Setsuna, I feel bad Luna if only we could have raised the girls ourselves we wouldn't be in this mess."

"Artemis we were put in stasis when we were because we are not much older than the girls. The timelines are always changing or making new paths." she transformed back into her cat form and jumped up on the panel "I wonder how Setsuna and Hotaru are resting to seeing their soulmates again" Luna said with a grin.

When Setsuna finally made eye contact with Haruki her heart felt like it stopped.

He was alive and just as beautiful as she remembered.

"shall we go talk Setsu?" Haruki whispered. Setsuna nodded mutely the time-flow assured he was a goner.

"The night my mom passed away, Shingo and Usa even little Amaya were screaming when I was leaving out with my mom. Usagi begged her to let me stay with them. I went with mom as school was the next morning all I remember is time stopping and a sweet angel pulling me out the wreckage"

"I guess," Setsuna sniffled. "I guess it's just hard to take it in. I thought…" she trailed off, tears leaking from her eyes as she stared into his. It felt like she could see his soul.

"I never knew who it was," he said softly. "Usagi told me she dreamed of the green-haired girl, but I thought it was because she was so young." He shook his head. "You saved me," he whispered.

Setsuna took a step closer, reaching up to lay a soft hand over his cheek. "I'll always save you," she answered, choking on the last word as she struggled to stop the tears.

"You won't ever have to be alone again," Haruki said, wrapping his arms around her. The hug was tight, long, and full of tears and laughter.

As soon as the door was open, a wave of sounds hit Jadeite. He looked around the room, a feeling of excitement coursing through him. This was the place.

At the long counter at the front of the arcade, a young man with light blonde hair, bright green eyes, and a happy smile was wiping a circular pattern into the formica. His eyes darted to a rounded mirror hanging in one corner, the out the window, then towards a pair of squabbling children. Jadeite could tell Motoki took his job seriously, even if he looked rather amused.

Taking a deep breath, he stepped through the door and made his way to a stool, sitting heavily. 'Now what?' he wondered.

When he made eye contact with the teen, Motoki didn't know whether to feel angry or confused. He knew the boy, but the betrayal to his sister in the silver millennium was almost too much to bear.

"You! In the back now!" Motoki said, almost growling.

As the second youngest of the Shittenou Jadeite couldn't help but gulp silently as he followed the slightly older teen to the staff room.

Motoki locked the door behind him and turned to face the young man with his hands clenched in fists. Motoki didn't know what came over him but he punched the younger man in the jaw. Jadeite didn't fight back.

"What the hell are you doing here Jadeite?" he asked.

Jadeite looked calm, Motoki was now more confused than angry.

Jadeite looked up with his hand on his still tender jaw. "I am not that person Motoki. In that life, and in this, we were captured by Metalia. We fought her for months, but she killed our family members, turned us against our wives, the Silver Alliance Motoki, and the very person we pledged our loyalty to, extending to the other Senshi when we soul bonded."

"You are here how?" Motoki wondered.

"We were reborn like everyone else, to normal families. But, when we were thirteen a general captured us we endured through weeks, months of torture. I thank the Kami we retained our healing abilities or none of us would have survived."

"What is a Soul-Bond?" Motoki's anger had diffused slightly, and now he was both curious and confused.

Jadeite sighed, "a Soul-Bond is both a blessing and a curse. It can be wonderful, you sense each other's feelings, and can find your mate anywhere. have silent conversations with each other, and your powers increase. But, if one half of the Bond dies, the survivor will need a lot of inner strength, a purpose, and love and support. Otherwise they will follow their mate in short order."

"You mean if you die, your mate will too?"

"Rei," Jadeite whispered, fear racing up his spine, even knowing she was safe with Zo and the others. He couldn't lose her. Not now. Not ever.

"Motoki, I need you to find him. I need you to get us help. Until our Prince and Princess heal us, we can never be who we were meant to be. Please, save us."

Motoki nodded he could see the utter regret in his eyes, Mamoru would be happy with his generals back but what would come for them next?

"I will contact him all four of you come to the crown tonight and they will heal you"

Jadeite almost cried in relief "Thank you Motoki-san, Arigatou."

Motoki nodded "don't make me regret it."

Unknown location

Minato couldn't take it anymore. She opened her eyes and peeked at the silver-haired general who was sat reading a newspaper.

Kunzite stiffened she had finally opened her eyes he looked in her direction and she gave him a sheepish grin "I knew you weren't really out." he muttered

Minako Sat up. "I have to protect my girls Kunzite." she replied coolly

"Don't you think I get that" he snapped. Minako jumped, Kunzite had to take a deep breath. "I'm sorry, I'm still quite unstable."

"You will be until you are cleansed." She looked around. "Where are the other three?"

"Nephrite is on patrol, Jade has gone to speak to Motoki-san and Zoi has gone to your schools to retrieve your work."

Minako pouted "But I thought we were on vacation" she replied Kunzite raised a delicate silver brow at her and shook his head. "You're not going back are you" she asked.

"Unless she summons us before Jadeite convinces Motoki-san that we need the prince and princess then never"

"I hope that's true" Minako said thoughtfully.

Usagis house

Mamoru came off the phone, several pairs of eyes looked expectantly at him "That was Motoki, the Shittenou wish for mine and Usakos presence tonight.

Haruka stood first "There is no way in hell you two are going alone!"
