The Return Of Tenshi
Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket or Sailor Moon.
AN: I am also terribly sorry for the long wait. Last semester has got to be the worst I had ever experienced in school. I had papers and exams due about every week so it just pushed my story writing time way behind. And then I had finally graduated, only to have a bunch of other stuff at work where I work teaching children. So please do not worry since I am not discontinuing but really on a slight hiatus with all of my stories.
By the way, if there is anybody here that enjoys reading stories that contain Ouran High School Host Club, femHarry from Harry Potter, and femNaru from Naruto, please read this story I had adopted from Ninja de Muerte called Magical Families. So far, the reviews have been telling me that they were good, so I'm very happy that I kept up with everyone's expectations of the original story.
Recap
Shingo stared in awe at the crystal he had heard so much about but had never seen. Because he was so up close, he was the only one who had noticed slight cracks in the jewel. "Is that it, Luna?" he asked.
The two humanoid cats shook with anxiety. Luna nodded her head. "Not only that," Artemis added, "But it's also her starseed."
Ch26
Momiji tugged at Tohru's sleeve and whispered, "What's a starseed?"
The three sailorlights and two felines looked at each other, not sure whether or not, they should expose the secret world outside of earth. Well, they had already exposed one where Luna and Artemis were from another planet and that they knew about the Sohmas' curse.
"A star seed is the source of life of all living things," a voice replied. Everyone looked around to see who had spoken, but it appeared that the voice had come from nowhere. "But it's especially important to a sailor senshi."
"Sailor Senshi?" the Sohmas all though to themselves. They all thought back to the female super heroes in the Juuban district where Usagi had lived out her childhood, wondering if the voice was talking about the same thing they're thinking.
"That voice sounds familiar," Artemis muttered to Luna.
"Pluto-san!" Shingo shouted.
Everyone's eyes widened when they saw a ghost-like figure emerge from the crystal and indeed, it was Sailor Pluto. She stood there with the usual knowing smile on her face but when she looked at her pale princess, the smile turned into a slight frown. "Every since her memories have been tampered with, her star seed had also begun to alter and break," Pluto told them.
"Is there anything we can do to help Usagi?" Akito asked. Shakily, he stood up to his feet and walked towards them slowly. "There has got to be some way…something we can do for her! I refuse to let her die!" he shouted.
"Akito, you need to calm down," Hatori said, grabbing Akito's shoulders.
"I'm afraid that there is nothing you can do to help Serenity-hime," Pluto said.
What had angered the Sohmas weren't her words, but rather her tone of voice. This person, who is supposed to be one of Usagi's closest friends and has spent more time with their cousin than they had, doesn't even care that she is dying.
His anger had finally reached its boiling point as Kyo screamed, "How could you not care about 'Sagi? How can there be no way we can save her?"
That was when Pluto's smile widened. "I never said that there is no way to save her," she corrected the orange-haired cat.
"What the…" Kyo clenched his fists tightly and shouted, "But you just said…"
"I said that there was nothing you can do to save her," Pluto said. She turned her head to look behind her, which caused a bunch of confusion for everyone in the room as they tried to figure out whom or what is she looking at. "But I never said anything about us not being able to save her."
"Us?" Artemis repeated, "What do you mean by 'us'?"
"Don't tell me that you had already forgotten about us, Artemis?" Sailor Venus appeared behind Sailor Pluto, laughing into her hands. Her blue eyes then noticed the three sailor scouts slash famous boy band. "Oh my god! It's the Three Lights! How are you guys doing?" she shouted.
"Venus, would you please remain focus on the matter at hand?" Sailor Uranus said, rolling her eyes. She never cared much for the senshi out of this galaxy, even after they helped her princess. Her pale blue eyes lost its sharp glint as she gazed down at her sleeping princess.
"Uranus, do us all a favor and take a chill pill," Sailor Venus said.
"How the hell can you take a chill pill when our princess is dying?" Sailor Uranus shouted.
Sailor Neptune grabbed her arm and shook her head. "We're not asking for you to stop worrying, but you need to calm down," she told her.
"But what exactly can you all do that we can't?" Shingo asked.
"Starseed!" ChibiChibi cheered.
"And what are we?" Yaten snarled, "Chopped liver? We're sailor senshi, just like the rest of you."
"Yeah, but you're still alive," Sailor Jupiter pointed out.
Seiya's hand tightened around Usagi's limp one. "What does that have to do with anything?" he asked.
"If you try to do what we're going to do, you would immediately die because you still have your starseeds," Sailor Mercury explained, "And you know that if you do anything to your starseeds, you may end up forfeiting your lives."
"Good point," Seiya muttered.
"But what exactly are you going to do?" Taiki asked.
Sailor Mercury was about to open her mouth and explain when Sailor Uranus frantically screamed, "We are wasting time!"
The three visiting sailor scouts rolled their eyes; they knew how the tomboy senshi acts when it deals with her princess so they weren't surprised at her impatience.
"The faster we do this, the quicker koneko-chan will get better," she snarled. Sailor Uranus immediately thrust her hand towards the Ginzuishō. The other senshi followed her lead, not to just make her less irritated but because she was right.
The rest of the audience felt like they were in a movie theater, watching the suspense of the drama increase. Every eye widened when they saw that a similar crystal came out from each of the transparent spirits, each was a different color from one another. The Ginzuishou flashed a few times before eight identical crystals were released from it. The starseeds of both inner and outer warriors flickered and one by one their life stories with Usagi began to unfold, starting from their time at the kingdom on the moon to their last minutes together. With each passing memories that exited their starseed and entered into the Ginzuishō, their bodies grew fainter bit by bit and Usagi's skin returned to its healthy tone color.
"What was that?" Akito asked, his voice sounded like he had completely given up on the fight.
"Our memories," Neptune replied, looking over her princess in a motherly manner, "Our memories of her and everyone she held dear to her heart will reawaken the memories she had lost."
"But we're not finished yet, there's still two more left," Saturn added.
All eyes looked around the room, trying to figure out who was missing. "Who's not here?" Shingo asked, "There's nobody left."
"Shingo-niisan!" a young female's voice echoed into the air.
Shingo looked around to see who was calling his name in a strangely familiar voice. He jumped when he felt arms wrapped themselves around his shoulders. His head quickly turned to the side and saw a pair of frightening recognizable red eyes. "Chib-Usa!" he shouted.
Unlike the other senshi, Chibi-Usa was not wearing the uniform, but rather a white dress similar to the one Usagi wore when she was Princess Serenity on the moon. Chibi-Usa laughed and jumped over the shocked boy as if she was light as air and landed where the other senshis were standing. "Yup! And there's one more!" Chibi-Usa said.
Shingo stared at the young girl he had once thought was his young cousin, but in reality is his niece from the future. "One more?" he repeated. He felt a hand gently patting him on the head. He looked up and saw another face he thought he would never see again outside of photos or videos. "Mamoru-san?' he whispered.
Endymion, or Mamoru as how Shingo knew him, smiled at Shingo. He also wore the dark blue armor when he was a prince so long ago, instead of the Tuxedo Kamen uniform. "Arigato," he whispered, "For looking after your sister." Shingo opened his mouth to argue that he wasn't able to do that, but Endymion interrupted him. "You've done your job very well. Now let us do ours."
Chibi-Usa grabbed onto Endymion's arm and pulled him towards Usagi. The two of them reenacted what the previous eight senshi had done where their starseeds had emerged and also merged their memories within the Ginzuishou. Memories of the past Silver Millenium and the love Serenity and Endymion had for each other and memories of the future that would never come with Crystal Tokyo and Chibi-Usa traveling back in time to escape the Dark Moon and meeting up with her parents' past selves. When they had finished, the father and daughter stepped back and watched as the pained expression of Usagi's face lessened and became more peaceful.
AN: Again, sorry for the long wait. As of right now, I'm trying to write up the chapters of all my stories as fast as I could, unfortunately, it's just very slowly. Please be patient and I promise that I am NOT discontinuing, just on a slight hiatus.
