Yuko sat in the room, at the desk, with a pen and notepad which happened to be in the drawers of all the rooms. She had written down song lyrics for the God of Kings, most of them she got wrong. Frustrated she tore the paper out, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it against the wall where it landed amongst other pieces of paper. "Damn...everytime I think I'm getting closer I keep going backwards..." she said to herself. She tapped the pen on the fresh piece of paper, "What could it be? I remember the melody just not the lyrics..." she scratched the top of her head.

"Mind if I interrupt?" Hikaru's voice came.

"Go right ahead, I'm stumped."

"Stumped on what?"

"This song."

"Oooh, you're writing a song."

"No, the songs already written. I just need to remember it...it's been in my family for thousands of years and I remember hearing it i just don't remember the words."

"What song?"

"It's the song that was sung for the guardian monster of Okinawa."

"Oh, you're one of THOSE Tani." Hikaru said, "I can look through the data base, but I can't say I'll pull anything up for certain."

"Thank you Hikaru."

"My pleasure."

"Oh! You wouldn't happen to know where Haruo is would you?"

"He went with the other men in a landing party. We're at the location to find Baragon, they went down to start searching."

"I see." She leaned back in her chair, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Hey...you can make normal food right?"

"Yes."

"What about dessert?"

"What kind?"

"Anything really."

"Mm, well if you want cookies you're out of luck. Unless of course you like coconut."

"I don't like coconut. Why are we out of cookies?"

"Maina came in last night and completely raided the place of them, all that she left was coconut."

"That's strange...ok, well I'll have just about anything." Yuko got up and then headed towards the cafeteria. Once at the cafeteria she looked around the room, one corner of the room was destroyed, which must've been where Maina got her cookies. Yuko went over to the food storage closet and opened it, she looked at the different packages of dehydrated foods. There was cakes, brownies, and puddings. None were quite what Yuko was looking for. Soon a packaging caught her eye, she reached forward and grabbed it. "Mochi Ice Cream!" She exclaimed completely excited, she had always loved it ever since she was a little girl. When the humans started running out of food she wasn't sure if she'd ever taste it again! She took the package to the hydration station and placed in the ingredients. She pushed a button and she waited patiently. The machine dinged, Yuko opened the door and pulled out her plate of Moshi Ice Cream, "Awesome~" she said with a smile. She took her plate and went and sat down, she picked up a Moshi ball and she took a bite out of it, she smiled and placed her hand on her cheek, "Mmm~ So good~"

"Yuko."

"Mm! Hikaru!" She popped the rest of the ball into her mouth, "What's up?"

"I found the lyrics to that song you were talking about, I'm sending them to your room."

"Thank you."

"I've also found some history on the Shisa of Okinawa, are you sure it's still alive?"

"If it's not still alive then why are we heading to Okinawa?"

"True."

"Is there maybe...anymore stuff about Earth that you could send me? I'd love to learn about its history before Godzilla nearly drove humanity to extinction."

"Of course."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Hey!" Yuko looked up, she saw Miana standing in the doorway, Yuko smiled at her.

"Hey."

Miana then ran over to Yuko and sat down in front of her, "Sister!"

"Yep, that's right."

Miana looked down at Yuko's plate, "Hungry?"

"Yeah, I'm hungry. I came up and got a snack."

"Oh..." she looked at it then back at Yuko, "Try?"

"You want to try some? Sure go ahead." Yuko said with a smile. Miana picked up an ice cream ball, "They're my favorite."

"Favorite?"

"Yes, it's something that I really like a lot."

"Oh." Miana then put the ice cream ball in her mouth, her eyes widened in delight as she ate it. "Good!"

"Yep, they're very good. Have you had any of the food from on board?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Brought...own."

"Ah, you brought your own food. Well that's nice." Miana nodded, "Are you hungry?"

"No."

"Ok, then what's up?"

"More...talk?"

"Oh, you want to learn how to talk more? Yeah I can teach you, after I'm done eating we can head to my room and I can show you some more things to say. I can even teach you how to write your name."

"...right?"

"Yeah, write. It's where you get a pen or pencil, and you put some stuff down on paper. It's how people write stuff down, like they're names, stories, or random ideas."

"Oh." Miana said as all the information blew over the top of her head.

"Once you learn to talk more I'll teach you how to make sentences and how to have a conversation."

"Conv...wha?"

Yuko just laughed, "Maybe I should stop using such big words around you." Yuko smiled, she then finished her ice cream and then she stretched her arms above her head, "Mmm! That was good!"

"More...talk...now?"

"Yeah, let's go." Yuko stood up and took Miana to her room. Miana went and sat on the bed, Yuko then spun the chair around, she grabbed the notepad and paper and sat down. "First, let's teach you how to write your name."

"Right."

"Yes, write." Yuko took the pen and wrote Miana's name, she then showed Miana, "Look, M-I-A-N-A, Miana."

"What?"

"Miana."

"What?"

"Miana."

"What?"

"Mia-" Yuko then paused, "Oh..." she just laughed at herself, "This how you write your name, look I'll show you." Yuko took the pen and showed Miana how to write her name. "See? Like that?"

"Oh."

"Do you want to try?" Miana nodded, "Ok, here." Yuko handed Miana the pen and paper, Miana took the pen, she then wrote her name to the best of her ability and then showed Yuko, "Oh...um..." Miana had somehow wrote her name upside down and backwards as well as scrambled. "Here, let me help you." Yuko then sat next to Miana, she took Miana's hand, "Oh...you're left handed?"

"What?"

"Oh...Nevermind, here let me show you." Luckily Yuko knew how to write with both of her hands so she was able to hurdle over the obstacle. Yuko took Miana's hand and gently helped Miana write her name, "See, like that."

"Oh." Miana then wrote her name again beneath it, the handwriting was a little sloppy but at least it was correct.

"Yeah! Like that! Try to make the lines a little straighter ok?"

"Straighter...?"

"Yeah, like this." Yuko showed Miana how to write straighter lines, "It'll make it look neater. Now you try."

"Ok." Miana then took the pen and wrote her name again, Miana frowned when some of the ink smudged and ruined her name. She growled lowly.

"What's wrong?"

"Gross."

"Hm?" Yuko looked down at the smudge on the paper, "Oh, yeah that's something you'll come across when writing left handed, out it can easily be avoided. My family taught me this special way to write left handed, look." Yuko then took the pen and held it in a special position, "If I write like this it won't smudge. Can you do that?" Yuko asked handing Miana the pen. Miana frowned, "It's ok if you can't do it like that. Let's see..." Yuko got up and walked over to the drawer, she opened it and found some pencils. She grabbed a pencil and then came over to Miana, "Here, try this. It's a pencil."

"Pen...cil?"

"Yes, Pencil. You write with it, sort of like a pen."

"Right?"

"Yes, write."

"Mm." Miana took the pencil. Yuko then say next to Miana, "Now write your name with the pencil." Miana nodded and did as she was told, she then wrote her name. "See! There you go!" The handwriting had slightly improved. "Try again." Miana started to write again when suddenly the pencil broke, Miana gasped. "Yeah, the pencil-"

"Dead..."

"What?"

"Dead..." tears started to form in Miana's eyes.

"No! No! No! The pencil isn't dead, it just broke!"

"Dead..."

"No!" Yuko quickly got up and went to the drawer, she growled when she couldn't find a pencil sharpener. She quickly grabbed a replacement pencil. She then went back to Miana and sat down, "Miana! Look!" Miana turned and looked at Yuko, Yuko showed her the pencil, "Look! The pencil's alive! Don't cry!"

"Alive...?"

"Yeah! It's alive! See!" Yuko quickly wrote on the paper, "Alive!"

"Oh..." Miana wipes her tears. She then took the other pencil. Yuko took the broken one and quickly shoved it under the bed.

"Whew, that was close..." Yuko thought, "Man, I'm gonna be such a great mom!"

"Right?"

"Yes! Write your name."

"Mm." Miana then wrote her name.

"Yeah, good job! Do you know what that says?"

"Miana."

"What?"

"Miana."

"What?"

"Miana."

"WHAT?!"

"No! It says Miana! See!" She pointed to the paper, "M-I-A-N-A."

"Oh." Miana was a bit puzzled for a second, then t suddenly clicked. "Miana."

"What?" Yuko then thumped herself on the forehead, "Yes, Miana. Good job."

"What?"

"..." Yuko swallowed, "Ok, that's enough writing for today." She then went to take notepad from Miana but Miana quickly pulled it away. "Miana, I need that."

"No."

"Miana please."

"No."

"Miana."

"What?"

Yuko growled, "Fine, just sit here and write your name. I've got stuff to do."

"Ok."

"Ok." Yuko got up and spun the chair around and then sat down at the desk, she grabbed the tablet and propped it up. "Ok, Hikaru what do you have for me?" Yuko turned it on, she then came to a file that had the song lyrics. "Miyarabi's Prayer Huh...hmmm." Yuko read over the lyrics at least a dozen times. She turned around, Miana was still writing her name and probably still didn't want to give up the notepad. Yuko turned around and went back to the tablet, she started to do research on the monster as well as the ancient people of Okinawa. She looked through several images and manuscripts, she then pulled up an image. In the black and white image there was a woman with a regal headdress, next to her was a man roughly the same age or maybe even older, in the woman's lap was a little boy and a little girl. Yuko looked at the woman carefully, the woman looked strikingly similar to Yuko only with longer hair.

Yuko then searched on the family photo, the woman's name was Eisa Tani, her husband was Riku and her children were Jun and Yuki. Yuko then looked at the pendant around Eisa's neck, she zoomed in on it. "Hikaru...what's this?"

"Hm?"

"The pendant around her neck."

"It's supposedly a family heirloom, passed down from a mother to her daughter, but around 1850 the pendant was then buried along with its current wearer."

"What did it do?"

"I'm not entirely sure myself. But from stuff I've been able to dig up, it made summoning and controlling the Shisa much easier. Some archeologists even believe the technology in it to be magic or even alien."

"Do you know where it was buried?"

"Yes, in the Tani family temple in Okinawa just east of the Shisa Shrine."

"When we go to Okinawa...would it be alright if I went to look for it?"

"I don't have a problem with that. Just take someone with you."

"I'm sure that Miana and Maina can tag along as well." Yuko said with a smile.

"Mm."

"Hikaru...can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"...does Haruo love me...?"

"What makes you say that?"

"He never says it, he rarely expresses it."

"Haruo is just stubborn. I know for a fact that he deeply cares about you. He doesn't always show it, but he's told me just how he feels about you. He's shy about his feelings."

"I see." She pulled her leg up onto the chair and pulled it into her chest.

"Don't take it personally, Haruo is just afraid of his own feelings. He feels that if he expresses them then you will get hurt."

"Mm." She said, "So deep down, Haruo is just a big softie. Isn't that right?" She said with a laugh. Hikaru laughed as well. "Did I tell you that Haruo suggested that we get married?"

"No, but I overheard it."

"Mm," Yuko said, "I don't know what to say honestly, me being flattered by his sweetness I said yes. But in reality...I don't know...I'm barely 19."

"19 is a good age to start considering marriage."

"I know...but I'm just...I don't know." She closed her eyes, "Being married and having kids has been a dream of mine...but with Godzilla still in the world it's hard to actually thinking of something like that...I mean...what if Godzilla attacks and I go into labor...both my baby and I will be left vulnerable and I don't want that."

"Mm, it can be scary. Around when I found out I was having Haruo, my wife and I were terrified. We had already moved twice to get away from areas where there had been sightings of monsters and Godzilla. Everyone was terrified, it's why most people waited to have kids once the human race set themselves to space. But when Haruo was born, we realized that the world is cruel...it's also very beautiful. I'm sure that Haruo will have everything taken care of before the baby is born."

"I hope so."

"Have you decided on a name?"

"Yes, Fairy."

"Mm, that's nice."

"Yeah,"

"What about the other one?"

"Other one?"

"...oops..."

"Hikaru, What other one?"

"You didn't know?"

"Didn't know what?!"

"Well, when everyone boarded I ran diagnostics on them. And you..."

"Hikaru..." Yuko growled,

"You're having twins. Two girls." Yuko gasped, "Surprise!"

"Great...Haruo's gonna have a cow..." Yuko said leaning forward and burying her face in her palms. She groaned heavily.

"Yuko, if I-"

"Can it. Just can it!" She sighed, "I need to clear my head." She got up and then walked into the hall. She walked down it, she wasn't sure where she was going all she knew was that she needed to empty her mind. Soon she started to hear some singing. She decided to follow the singing, it eventually brought her to the girls shower room. She opened the door and walked inside. Soon the singing became clearer.

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Yuko then turned and saw Umika, "Umika?" Umika stoppés singing, she jumped and spun her head around.

"Yuko!"

"S-Sorry! Didn't mean to interrupt! I just...I heard singing from down the hall and I just followed it."

"Mm." Umika glared, "Is that all?"

"I didn't know you could sing."

"I..." Umika sighed, "Yeah, I mean I can...I don't do it often." She shut off the shower and then grabbed her towel. She wrapped it around herself and then stepped out, "Before we left Earth I took some singing lessons, I had MAJOR dreams of being a pop star."

"I see,"

"What about you? Do you sing?" Umika asked walking over to a bench and picking up some clothes.

"Um...not really, but I could if I wanted too."

"I see." She removed the towel and started to put her clothes on. "Anyways, dont tell anyone that I sing."

"Why not? You have a lovely voice."

"Just don't."

"Ok." Yuko said, "You don't have to be ashamed of it."

"I'm not." She said putting her bra on, "I'd just prefer if people didn't know."

"Then what's the point in wanting to be a pop star then?"

"I don't want to be one anymore, so therefore no one has to know." She said putting on her tank top followed by a t-shirt.

"Mm." Yuko put her hands behind her back, "So where's Kairi?"

"How the hell would I know?"

"I thought you two were best friends?"

"Kairi isn't anyone's friend."

"She'd get along with Maina just fine then."

"Maybe, Kairi is just frustrated and always angry for some reason. No one knows why."

"Have you bothered asking her?"

"Nope, it's not my business." Yuko frowned, once Umika got fully dressed she walked over to Yuko, "Welp, See ya Yuko." She then walked past Yuko and left. Yuko growled, she then lifted her arm and smelled her armpit. When was the last time she showered? Yuko then walked into the dressing room connected to the shower room, she grabbed a fresh change of clothes and then walked back into the shower room and placed them on the bench. She then stripped down and put the clothes in the laundry hamper. Did the Gotengo even have a laundry room? She then grabbed a towel and stepped into the shower stall.

She shut the stall door behind her, she then hung the towel on the hook and then turned on the shower. "AH!! COLD COLD COLD!!!" She growled and tried to adjust the heat on the water, "Stupid Umika, took all the hot water!" She eventually got the water to a bearable temperature. She sighed and just stood there in the shower with her arms around herself, "First one baby now two...and before that it was the Nanometal incident...this really isn't my year..."

"You feeling ok?" A woman's voice came. Yuki screamed and jumped, she slipped forwards slightly and hit her head against the wall.

"Ow! Damn!!!" Yuko placed her hand on her forehead.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you. You must be Yuko correct?"

"Yeah, and who are you and why are you in the shower room?"

"I'm technically everywhere, so is my husband. I am Naomi Sakaki, I'm-"

"Haruo's mother?"

"Yes, how'd you know?"

"Haruo showed me this confession video of Hikaru."

"Oh, so Haruo found that." She sighed, "Anyways, I wanted to talk."

"Sure, what's up?" She asked rubbing her forehead.

"It would be easier to talk to you through a screen."

"Ok, hold on." Yuko shut off the shower, she then grabbed the tower and dried herself off. "How come you haven't reached out before?"

"I was told to not interfere with Haruo's mission. Seeing how he's not in the women's shower room is a relief."

"Oh, he's not even on the ship."

"That's good."

Yuko went over and got her new clothes on. Once she was dressed she then headed to her room, "If you know who I am then you must know about me and your son."

"You mean your son and I. And yes, I do."

"Then do you know that-"

"You're with child? Yes. Hikaru filled me in."

"Mm." Yuko then arrived to her and Haruo's room. Miana had left and she took the pen and notepad with her. Yuki groaned, she then picked up the tablet. "Alright, I'm in my room."

"I see," she then appeared on the screen. She looked about middle aged with a few gray hairs. Her hair was long and black, and her eyes were a deep warm brown. "So that's what you look like." She smiled, "You've got a bump on your forehead."

"Oh yeah, that happens all the time when you're in the shower and someone scares the hell out of you."

"I'm sorry."

"So what's up?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to finally meet you." She said with a smile, "Your hair looks great."

"Thanks, it's getting long in the front and I need to get it cut."

"I see, my husband tells me you're a Tani is that correct?"

"Yeah...what else has he told you about me?"

"Just about everything, he's super happy to have a daughter-in-law."

"Aww."

"He also told me you were looking for that pendant."

"Yeah, do you have any clue where it is?"

"Yes. I know exactly where it is."

"That's great!"

"Yes." She smiled, "So tell me about you."

"Oh, me? There's not much to tell."

"I see, these markings on your face, what are they?"

"They're not just on my face, they're all over my body, and I got them from this tribe that's been living here on earth in secret. They're called the Houtua."

"Hmm, I have no information on them."

"They're rather new to us too." She smiled, "Hey, your skin looks incredible. Is that one of the perks of living in a computer?"

"No, it's the perks of being a Xilien, we have much longer lifespans than humans do. My husband on the other hand has also aged extremely, but he's been around for the past 50,000 years."

"...what?"

"What do you mean what?"

"Your husband is over 50,000 years old?"

"Yes, Peacelandians have an exceptionally long life."

"...Peacelandian?"

"Yes, it's a planet that was destroyed in the early 60's."

"So...Haruo's a full blown alien?"

"Yes, did he not tell you?"

"No, I knew about his Xilien half but not the other half!"

"I see."

Yuko groaned, "This day honestly keeps getting better and better by the second. I mean, is it too much to ask for a normal life."

"Yuko...I've seen Gods fly, I've seen men transform into giants, and now Godzilla is roaming the earth and you want a normal life?" Naomi chuckled, "I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be rude, but since Godzilla came to Earth don't you think that asking for normal is a bit much?"

She sighed, "I guess you're right." Yuko then thought for a few seconds, "So, before Haruo did you have any kids?"

"I had a child with my former lover, he too lived on Planet X."

"Mm, What was the child's name?"

"Well, it's too complicated for you humans to understand. So he simply called himself, X."
