A.N.: Sorry for the long wait. I guess this is no longer a request fic since the requester didn't like the for such a long wait on this update but here it is. Warning and names are in the first chappie.

This chappie will finish out this time line and the next will start anew.

Disclaimer:I don't own Sailor Moon if I did there would still be Sailor Moon on T.V. and ALL of it would be shown in America!

The door unlocking echoed in the empty apartment. The door opened to reveal a small group containing the Outers, Star and Malichite. Sadly they walked into the sad little apartment that was once the haven of their closest and dearest little sister Makoto.

"It feels so sad in here." Hotaru said softly as she walked farther into the room.

"I can't believe she's gone." Haruka said softly as she looked around the living room. All of the furniture was pushed against the walls and everything else that was able to be was boxed in marked boxes. The room looked empty, as if it was waiting for the tenant to arrive to start unpacking.

Malachite walked over to the coffee table, the only piece of furniture left in it's place. He picked up an envelope with 'Guys' written on the outside.

"She left another letter." He told the walked over and sat around the table as he pulled out the letter.

Rue, Michi, Seiya, Yaten, Taiki, Mik, Taru, Suna,

If you're reading this then you've found your way to my apartment now that I'm gone. I'm sorry it turned out this was but I think it was better that I leave. I would only get in the way.

I won't need much where I'm going so I sorted everything into boxes and each is labled for the person I want it to go to, yes I am still giving the Inners and other Shitennou stuff. They may have marked me Traitor but I will always have happy memories of them. You can do whatever you want with the furniture I bought it not too long after I moved there. If there are any boxes unmarked can you store them for me? I don't know who to give the stuff to. If you want to look through the unmarked boxes that is fine with me you can keep some of it too. It's not like I'll be coming back for it. I'll be leaving my bike at the airport, could you see that Nate gets it back? He got it for me and I don't think he'd want me to keep it.

I love you all and I'm sorry I couldn't tell you face-to-face.

Makoto

"I don't want to see them. They caused her death! They caused her to LEAVE!" Haruka growled, silent tears running down her face.

"We don't have to see them. Let's get all of the boxes for each person together and I can send it through a portal. We'll just send a note to with each drop." Setsuna replied as she and Hotaru rose from the table.

"That's a good idea. Let's get this done." Seiya said as he and the other Stars rose from their places followed by the rest of the team.

Twenty minutes later all of the boxes were sorted out and a note was taped to each one.

Setsuna summoned her staff, "Time and space, Part your ties, I wish to send, these gifts devine,"

She pointed to each stack and called out the names, " Nathaniel, Usagi, Minako, Ami, Rei, Mamoru, Seiya, Yaten, Taiki, Jasper, Mikhail, Zane, Hotaru, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna."

Each pile disappeared as each name was called. As the last pile evaporated the portal closed.

"I have no idea what to do with the furniture. We have no need of it." Michiru said softly as she ran her hand over the back of the couch.

"I'll arrange a moving company to come load this up and ship it to my house. I can place it in my spare room until we can deside what to do." Mik offered.

"That would be great Mik. They don't have to worry about the unmarked boxes since we sent them to my and Michi's house." Haruka replied and sighed and looked out of the window. " I can't believe she's gone. I don't want it to be real. She was the only Scout that welcomed us with open arms. Yeah, she was cautious at first but that was her brains working. She wanted to be friends with us because we were 'real' is how she explained it to me. But she became so much more. She was like my little sister. I'll never be able to get that back." Haruka growled out the end and slammed her hand on the window sill.

"She became all of our little sister. She went out of her way to send time with us. She actually came over to my house one day about two weeks ago at about seven in the morning and made me help her plant flowers in my overgrown garden." Mik said then laughed sadly, "We go into a dirt fight and by the time we were done with the garden you would have thought we rolled in the dirt. Gardening had never been so much fun."

"She taught me to make her cookies. You know those ones with all that Vanilla and Cinnoman?" Hotaru said in a soft voice. "She found me one day after school crying. Some girls had made fun of me and I ran off to the Park. She found me crying and made me talk it out with her. She took me home with her and she told me that baking always made her feel better and taught me to bake her Cinalla cookies. We spent hours in the kitchen."

"She came to practice with us one day. It was a bad day for us because nothing was going right. All three of us were arguing. She smacked us all across the head and the grabbed Yaten's flute and told us to play with her tune. She started playing kid songs like Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Home On the Range. She just kept on playing and then finally started to play one of our songs and we didn't even realize it until we were done singing."

"She helped me practice a few times too." Michiru replied as she thought back on a memory. "I was warming up for a concert and Ruka was dealing with the V.I.P.s. I was getting nervous and I completly screwed up my song. Then out of nowhere I heard a flute play the song and I started to play along. I asked her when she did she learn to play the flute and she told me her father use to play it so she started to play it too. She said she's always been able to play it she just didn't broadcast it."

"She's helped us all as much as she was a survivor and wanted all of us to see a happy and bright future." Setsuna said softly then sighed, "We should go."

Slowly the group made their way out of the lifeless apartment. Haruka gave one last look around then switched off the light and closed the door for the last time.

Nate walked into his apartment, an odd look on his face. He had felt a pain in his chest since yesterday afternoon. Switching on the light he was suprised to see a stack of boxes stacked infront of his couches . Slowly he walked over and sat down grabbing the note off of the top box.

Nate,

Makoto wanted you to have this stuff. Personally I don't think you or the others that betrayed her deserve any of her belongings but I will honor the wish of the least you could do is go through them before trashing them.

Setsuna

Nate blinked in suprise and Setsuna's terse note but understood the reason. Slowly he opened the closest box. He started to pull out items as he went when he say the envelope on top. Slowly he opened it and as he pulled out the letter a necklace fell out on his lap. Setting aside the letter for a moment he picked up the necklace and stared at it in shock when he saw the pendant. It was a Griffin in flight in the center of a circle made of lightning bolts. He had given it to her for her birthday the first year they had been friends. It was coated in charms and spells for protection. She never took it off, she had said it made her feel wanted and cared for. It was also her good luck charm for when they went into battle.

He picked the letter back up and read through it.

Nathaniel,

First here is your necklace. You gave it to me for my birthday and told me it would protect me always. Well, it didn't. It didn't protect my heart from being broken. It didn't protect me from the Senshi and Shitennou attack and it can't save my life. So I am leaving it for you. Throw it away or give it to your TRUE Soul Mate. I don't care. It apparently wasn't ment for me.

I think by now Michiru will have given you a a rough idea of what the difference between a Soul Mate Bond and a Jupiter Soul Mate Bond is. Just know it isn't your fault. I never told you and in a way I'm glad I didn't. You said you loved me and wanted to be with me forever but the moment a Negacreep shows up with information he could have easily gotten with any type of mind powers you joined the bandwagon to have me marked. It showed me just how much you trusted me.

Anyway, I wanted you to have the stuff in these boxes. They are things you gave me or things we got together on our dates or out with our friends. They had great memories for me but now they just hurt to look at. Don't worry, Ruka will deliver your bike to you.

I'm sorry this letter sounds really mean but I can't help it. I don't know if I can ever forgive you. Maybe in my next life. But that doesn't really matter anymore anyways. By the time you get this letter I'll have left. You won't find me and you'll not hear from me again. You don't have to worry in about 2 to 3 weeks you can be positive you'll never see me.

Goodbye

Makoto

Nate stared at the letter in confusion, guilt and pain. It had felt as if his heart had been ripped out when Gunner had told them all of their secrets. He felt like a baka now that Makoto had pointed out that Gunner could have had Mind Gifts.

He set the letter aside for a few minutes and started looking through the open box. Inside he pulled out several pictures. Most of them were of them on their dates or dancing. One that caused him to pause was of the two of them in the kitchen. Makoto was teaching him to bake her Cinilla cookies. Both of them were laughing as flour settled around them from the flour war they had gotten into when he didn't listen and added too much. He smiled sadly and placed it on the table by the couch.

He reached into the box and pulled out a sweatshirt. He had a sad smile as he remembered when Makoto had taken it from him. She had been over at his house and the windows were frozen open in the living room on a rather cool night. She glared at him after a chilly breeze blew through and grabbed his sweatshirt from the arm of the couch where he had placed it earlier that day. Next in the box was a happy looking package wrapped in elegant green wrapping paper. He pulled it out and read the tag, "Merry Birthday Love!"

Slowly he pulled off the paper to reveal a jewlery box. He swallowed thickly as he opened the box. Inside was a delicatly carve Compass Rose made of gold. Delicate scroll was used for each letter and the North Star was an emerald.

He was shocked out of his suprise when his phone rang.

He rose to reach it and grabbed it up, roughly rasped out, "Hello?"

"Nathaniel, this is Michiru." the voice called softly over the line.

"Michiru, I was going to call you. How can I get in contact with Makoto. I have to talk to her!" he asked all but ending in a shout as a horrible feeling overcame him.

"I'm sorry Nathaniel. Makoto passed away late last night. That was why I called. We are arranging her funeral. It's set for Friday. That's in two days. I'm sorry Nate, but your apology is too last." Michiru said with a thick voice.

Nate dropped his phone and fell back onto the couch. Faintly he registered Michiru's voice calling out to him over the phone but ignored it. The pain in his chest intensified as he rested his hand over his heart. Tears silently streaked down his face, "I'm sorry , Mako. I'm so sorry." He whispered to the empty room.

Haruka stared up the long set of stairs leading to the Hino Shrine. She was mad she was the one that had to tell the Princess. but that was it. If the other traitors were there then they'd find out as well, if they weren't well then Usagi could tell them. After the funeral she would clean her hands of them except for battling the Negaverse, otherwise she wanted nothing to do with them.

She started up the long trek to the top knowing Usagi was there having called her home first. As she neared the top she could hear the chatter of the girls and a few deep voices of the guys.

As if sencing her Rei turned toward the stairs and glared when she saw Haruka.

"I'd wipe that look off your face Rei. Before I take it off for you." Haruka said angrily.

"You can't tell me what to do in my family Shine. What do you want?" the fire reader snapped.

"Nothing to do with you so go dunk yourself. Usagi, I have some news for you. Although apparently it doesn't matter to you it matters to me and Makoto's real friends." Haruka started only for Rei to interupt her.

"What does she have to do with this? We don't want to hear about that Traitor. She lost our compassion when she betrayed us."

A large crack sounded through the air as Haruka slapped the fire reader.

"It would be wise for you to shut the hell up about Makoto. It isn't wise to speak ill of the dead." Haruka growled.

"What? What do you mean the 'dead'?" Usagi asked in confusion.

Haruka turned to the blonde Princess, "Makoto died. Last night."

"You're lying." Minako said as she jumped up from her seat as Usagi all but collapsed into her seat.

Haruka glared at the girl." What reason would I have to lie? Much less about Makoto's life? I held her as she bled to death!" she screamed in the girl's face.

"You know what? Believe whatever the fuck you want to. If you want to come the funeral is the Friday." she said finally then turned and walked away, pausing at the top of the stairs she looked back at the group, "Oh and other than Friday and battling for the world, you can stay the fuck away from us. We don't want to even see you walking by our apartments." she then turned away and left.

Usagi turned to Mamoru, "Wha- How? Why? Mamo-chan?" she finally cried out as he gathered her in his arms as she broke down.

"She was innocent." a voice said out of nowhere catching the group by surprise.

Gunner lowered himself from the tree he had been hiding in. A painfully sad look on his face.

"What are you doing here?" Rei questioned as the Senshi and Shitennou stood before the Prince and Princess.

Gunner smiled sadly, "The Uranus Senshi wasn't lying. She held the former Jupiter Senshi as she died. "

Usagi pushed her way through the line of protectors until she was able to see Gunner. "Why? Why did you lie to us? Is it because you're from the Negaverse? You wanted us to harm our own!" she screamed.

"I'm not from the Negaverse. I'm connected to Makoto. Although I won't tell you how. She wasn't suppose to die. It was a test, to see how easily you would betray your own if you didn't think through the accusations." Gunner said sadly.

"What do you mean?" Ami asked in confusion.

"You never stopped to think of another way for me to have learned that information. You just jumped at the fact I laid blame on Makoto. She never told me a thing. You yourselves did. " Gunner explained.

"What do you mean?" Jasper asked.

"During any of the events that followed me leaving did it ever occur to you that I used Mind Magic?" Gunner asked.

The group all froze in shock.

"Ah, I can see that it didn't. You claim to love and trust each other, yet the instant you were given a little bit of doubt you distroyed one of your own. Even the man that should have protected her against ALL of you turned on her as well."

"Nate! Oh Goddess I hope he isn't alone when he finds out." Zane said worriedly.

"How did she die?" Usagi asked, voice thick with tears.

"All I will tell you is she died fighting. Now I must go." Gunner said as he floated back up higher in the sky.

"Wait!" Usagi cried out.

"No, you don't deserve any sympathy from me." Gunner said then disappeared.

Leaving behind a group of crying women and distressed men.

Friday started wet and cold as a Thunderstorm had started the night before. Roughly mid-day a group of people gathered under a huge tent. Everyone was grief striken as they stood before the closed dark brown casket.

The Preacher stepped forward and began his speak, "Today we are gather in honor of the of Memory of Kino Makoto. Her closest friends say she was a great friend and was always going out of her way to help others. She loved her friends and considered them to be her family.

She lost her life protecting a group of kids from a mad man. May she find freedom and happiness in this new adventure."

The Preacher stepped away and wait the few minutes for the guest that could watch it be lowered to leave before he motioned for it to go in.

Haruka,Michiru,Seiya, Yaten, Taiki, Mikhail, Hotaru,Setsuna stepped forward and dropped a bouqet of flowers onto the casket each, the flowers being the color of their Senshi and Shitennou uniform with emerald green roses in the center of each.

"You will forever be a part of us. You were our sister and we will never forget you." Haruka said softly.

Nathaniel stepped forward and knelt be the grave. He pulled out a small jewlery box and tied it to the bouqet of emerald roses he held in the other hand with an emerald ribbon." I bought this ring for you just last week. I was going to propose to you this weekend and now it's too late. I know I can never be forgiven for what I've done, but I am so sorry for all the ways I wronged you. I love you through the end of time." He said softly and dropped the flowers onto the casket. He rose and looked at the group of fighters that had stood beside Makoto."I know it isn't any good, but I'm sorry. I'm not going to ask for forgiveness, that I don't deserve. I distroyed a beautiful young woman that loved life and was my whole world. I have to live with that." Nate said softly as tears streaked his face.

Out of nowhere the storm changed it became a malestrom and the wind started to wrap around the tent of fighters.

"What is this?" Minako yelled to be heard over the storm.

"It is the Three Sisters of Fate! They are not happy with how things turned out!" Setsuna shouted.

"Makoto wasn't suppose to die!" Hotaru cried over the wind.

Setsuna listened to the wind, " I understand," she turned to Makoto's group," We are starting over. We will be in another life and things may end up different but with time we will remember this world. We will still be Senshi and Shitennou and things need to turn out better."

Haruka nodded, "Let's do it."

Before anything else could be said the world stopped and time restarted. The Senshi and Shitennou were all over the place. Different groups formed and new friends were made...this is where our story begins...

A.N.:Here is the newest chappie. I hope you enjoy it.
