A.N) hello guys. This chapter is going to be kind of sad. This chapter is dedicated to my Grandfather who died a few years ago around this time of year. I really miss him. We were really close, I had a hard time grasping that I wouldn't see him anymore. It really hurt. He made Kaleidoscopes for a living. If you don't know what those are, they are wooden tubes with colored pieces of glass, and mirrors, and when you look through them, the glass reflects off of the mirrors and makes really pretty patterns. So everyone in town knew him as The Kaleidoscope Man. Even my music teacher( Who I REALLY hated) tried to comfort me when I would break down crying during the first few weeks after my grandfather passed. Now, when we go to my grandma's we have to pass the cemetery. So me and my little sisters and my little brother all call " HI Pop-Pop, we miss you!" whenever we pass it. It makes me really sad, but I know Pop-Pop is watching over me. During this chapter it will contain the poem that is on his grave stone. So with that said I hope you like this chapter despite the sad parts.

Disclaimer: I'm not going to be silly about this disclaimer because there isn't anything silly about this chapter. It may start out funny, but it won't end funny. So here it is.

I do not own Sailor Moon.

See what I mean. Simple.

The Missing Sailor

Chapter 11

Emma was rightfully the winner for the Jr. High court. Sakura earned herself another detention, for one, cheating and second, coming to the dance against orders. And weeks went by and soon months until it was about three weeks until Christmas. Emma and Sam were closer than ever, and Rini and Katsuro were just as. Josh and Mina were terribly in love, as are Serena and Darien but everyone knew that. Emma had a few battles here and there. She was getting stronger and it seemed that her asthma was getting better as well. Luna said it wasn't a big surprise. Although her asthma would always be a part of her life , as she got more in tuned with her Sailor Star powers, it would not be as much of a problem. For that Emma was grateful. She thought her life would finally work out for once. Now, her doctor said she could even go out for sports!

" Okay, now here is the list for the Jr. High girls basketball team!" Mrs. Takanara, Emma's math teacher, said to a group of girls. She went through a list of girls all eager to get a spot on the team. " Okay, here is the last spot on the team. Now remember girls, if you didn't make the team, then it doesn't mean you aren't a good player." Emma was expecting the worst. She looked behind her. Sam was watching her from the bleachers. He gave her a thumbs up. Emma smiled and looked around the gym. She saw Sakura's black hair up in a pony tail in the front of the group. Sakura was going for the team. There were four girls all waiting for a spot. Her, Sakura, and her little lackeys. She wanted to be on the team for two reasons now. One, because she could now run long enough without having trouble and two. Well, that was an obvious reason. To overthrow Sakura. Again. Sakura became more and more jealous the closer Emma and Sam got. Now Sakura would do anything to get Sam. But she was now got glared down by Emma's friends whenever she got withing ten feet of her. Especially by Sam. He was so protective of her that it made her sick.

Emma was staring into space when Sam came over and picked her up. She came into reality and asked what happened.

" You're kidding me! YOU MADE THE TEAM!" he yelled before kissing her. She kissed him back and hugged him.

" YES! Woo hoo!" Emma said. She let go of sam and went into a Funky dance. Sam laughed and then joined her. The whole team watched them do their funky dance and laughed. But they didn't care. They were once again in their own little world.

When they grew tired of their dance, Sam walked Emma to the locker rooms to get changed. Emma walked in and saw Sakura leave in a huff. She wasn't surprised. But, Sakura wasn't that good of a player. Emma kinda figured that she tried out, only because Sam encouraged Emma to try out.

Emma changed and met Sam out front. She was now in a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. Emma was skipping down the sidewalk. She was wearing black, ankle high boots which she called her " Percy Boots." She said they were called that because her friend, Meggie, wrote a story and based one of the characters on her. The character's name was Persephone, or Percy for short. And apparently those boots were " Percy"style. So when Emma got them for Christmas the year before, Meggie said they were exactly what Percy would wear. So from then on, they were her " Percy Boots." Sam thought that it was kind of silly, but it made Emma happy. She did actually look good in those boots. She looked taller. She didn't have to stand on her tippy toes to look at him square in the eyes.

" Sam, what're you doing? Come on we gotta go!" Emma turned to Sam. He was leaning against the wall. He snapped into reality and looked at her confused face. He looked back and walked over. Emma took his hand and dragged him towards the bus stop. They were going to a movie at the mall.

" Em?" Sam asked.

" Huh?"

" What do you want for Christmas?" He asked her. She looked at him and shrugged

" I don't know. I never really thought about it." Emma smiled and looked up at him. " I mean I have you don't I ? What more would I need?" she smiled as he leaned in for a kiss. She gave him what he wanted and sat down on the bench at the bus stop. Sam sat down beside her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. She leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. When the bus came the quickly jumped on to escape from the December air.

When they reached the mall, Emma ran in as fast as she could. She shivered as the hot air suddenly met her cold skin. Sam was soon behind her and rubbed his hands up and down her arms, trying to warm her up. They went to the locker rooms that the mall built for customers to leave their stuff. Emma and Sam got rid of their jackets and put it in the locker they rented out. They got some hot cocoa before they head to the movie.

" I still need to know what to get you for Christmas!" Sam pestered Emma as they sat down at a table to drink their cocoa.

" I told you I don't need anything! Jeez.!" Emma mumbled back.

" Aw. But I want to get you some thing!" Sam pouted and stuck out his lip.

" HEY! That's my look!"

" PLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE!" he whined. Emma rolled her eyes and gave in.

" Mangas" she said to him. " Any kind. Just get me a manga." Sam smiled at her and went back to his cocoa.

" See. I knew you wanted something!"

" Now what to get you!" Emma said.

" Who said you have to get me anything?"

" Okay, I guess I'll have to go to Serena to see what you would like!" Sam's face fell. He looked at Emma in horror.

" NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!" He said shaking his head. " Last time some one asked her for a suggestion, I got a set of Sailor Senshi action figures! I was horrified!" Emma scowled at him.

" AND WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE SAILOR SENSHI?" Emma stood up and glared down at him, causing him to flinch involuntarily . He could see the veins in her head throbbing.

Why is she so angry?

" um.. Emma?. . . why are you so angry?" Sam asked him hesitantly. Emma looked at him. Steam was no longer shooting out of her ears. The veins disappeared, and Emma sat down quietly and blushed.

" Gomen. I. . . . was um.. . . uh. Could we just forget about it? I won't ask Serena for suggestions." Emma said hiding her face with embarrassment.

" That sounds great!" Sam agreed, who was blushing as well.

Emma and sam walked out of the movie theater laughing their heads off. But their laughing ceased when Emma's cell phone rang.

" Hello..hee hee..this is Hanzo Emma," she answered. She listened. " Mom, why are you crying.. Mom calm down!" Emma shot Sam a concerned look. " Oh my god..oh my god." Emma's breathing got faster. Tears fell down her cheek. Sam reached into Emma's purse and pulled out her inhaler when she started wheezing. Emma had a waterfall of tears falling. When she couldn't talk anymore she had to hang up. She took her medicine and crumbled in Sam's arms. She started sobbing into his t-shirt.

" Sam. . . we. . . I h-have to go home!. . .now! Josh is coming for us!" Sam just nodded. He wasn't going to ask what happened just yet. All he knew was he had to get Emma home. He and Emma ran, and ran fast, to the locker rooms for their stuff.

They were in front of the mall when Sam could see Josh's car speeding into the parking lot. The jumped into the back seat and they speed off to the Hanzo residence.

Emma was the first through the door. She saw her mom. Mrs. Hanzo wasn't crying anymore but she looked extremely sad. She hugged Emma so hard. Emma started sobbing. Then she went over to her dad and he hugged her even harder. Josh sat Sam down on the couch, and Josh took the armchair. Sam saw Josh put his face in his hands.

" E-Emma go pack." Mrs. Hanzo said. Emma nodded and pulled Sam upstairs with her by the hand. She sat on her bed when they reached the bedroom. She was as white as a ghost, besides the red blotches on her cheeks from crying.

" Emma,. . ." Sam asked her as he inched over to Emma. He kneeled down in front of her. He looked up to her. Her, once sparkling, blue eyes where stormy with grief. " Emma what happened? Why do you look so sad?" Emma didn't answer him. She just turned her face and closed her eyes really tight. Tears came out of her eyes again. She laid down and pulled her knees up to her chin. Sam sat on the bed. He stroked her hair out of her face.

" Sam, come over here." Josh said. He was standing in the doorway. But when Sam didn't move, Josh walked over and dragged him out by the collar of his jacket. Josh closed the door to her room and dragged Sam into his room. The walls were white with race car posters plastered to them.

" What happened. Emma won't tell me!" Sam asked immediately.

" Our grandfather died."

" I'm sorry." Sam replied bowing his head.

" Don't be. At least not for me anyway. I wasn't as close to him as Emma was." Josh said sitting on his bed.

" When are you, leaving for the funeral?"

" Tonight. But I need you to help me and my parents."

" What is it?"

" Emma is going to hate us when we tell her she isn't coming" Josh said with shame in his voice.

" She isn't going?" Sam asked trying to hide the happiness in his voice. He didn't want Emma to leave, even for a day. But he needed to sound sympathetic.

" Nope. She doesn't handle death too well. Especially during funerals." Josh said. Then he laughed. " When she was six. Our Great Aunt Millie died and she almost jumped into the casket during the wake" Sam smiled a little.

" Where is she going to stay?" Sam asked. He was hoping he would say his house.

" She's going to stay in Rini's room at your house." Sam wanted to jump for joy. But he restrained himself. " The only reason I'm going is because I'm one of the pallbearers with our cousin Andrew, my uncles and my dad."

" So what do you need me to do?" Sam asked. Josh was yet to explain what the favor for the family would be.

" Right, well, Emma is most likely sleeping right now. So she will stay tonight here in the house. You will take my room." Josh replied. " When she starts crying, man. She can be out for hours afterwards!"

" So, is that it?"

" No. The thing is, when Emma gets upset, she tends to forget to take her meds. So," Josh started, but was cut off.

" So, you want me to make sure she takes her medicine while you are gone."

" You're smart kid. I don't see why my dad doesn't like you." Josh kidded.

" He doesn't like me?" Sam asked. He looked hurt.

" I'm kidding. He thinks you are good for her. After the whole thing with the hospital, he pretty much worships the ground you walk on. She is his only daughter ya know!"

" Ah. So he likes me?"

" Yes."

" Cool."

" I think you are good for her too. I'm definitely glad she isn't with that Katsuro kid"

" Hah. I have to worry about him with MY sister!"

" Have fun" Josh laughed. With that sam walked back to Emma's room. Before he opened the door josh stopped him.

" Also. Please make sure she stays asleep until we're gone. We don't need her working herself up when we try to go. We'll let you handle that when she wakes up." Josh smiled.

" Oh Great. I'm looking so forward to it!" Sam said sarcastically. Josh laughed and went back to his room to pack.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

" Okay, Sam. We should be in America by tomorrow morning. We will be back in two weeks. Emma has all the numbers on her cell, her meds are in the kitchen cabinet and... I'm forgetting something Hotaka!" Mrs.Hanzo was talking like she was a bumble bee.

" Her Advair is taken before bed and when she wakes up, and her Singulair when she goes to bed, and her ADD meds when she wakes up. Make sure she gets 20 grams of protein for breakfast, or else her ADD medicine is worthless. " Mr. Hanzo finished for her. Sam nodded as he memorized his instructions in his head. Mrs. Hanzo kissed him on the cheek, which made him blush.

" Please take care of my baby!" she said before leaving. Josh and Mr. Hanzo said their good byes and walked out to their airport cab.

Sam had enjoyed himself as he watched some tv in the livingroom. He took another look at the pictures. He looked at the one with her in a play. She was wearing a black dress, black tights and black ballet slippers and a straw hat on her head. She was standing beside and older girl with blonde hair and they were both smiling at the audience. Then he saw a picture at the beach. Josh was holding her over his head and Emma was laughing. She was wearing a red bikini with monkeys on it. She looked so happy. Then there was a picture of her with the same strawberry blonde haired girl in many of the other pictures ( he guessed that she was Emma's friend Meggie) They were standing by a red head girl. They were doing a Charlie's Angels thing with their finger pointed like pistols. Emma was knelling on one knee at the bottom.

Then there was his favorite picture. It was black and white, she was leaning on a tree her hair cast over her shoulder. She was wearing a turtleneck sweater and jeans with her Percy Boots and a cross necklace around her neck. She was smiling, as if she was smiling at him. She looked beautiful. Her curly hair was blowing a little in the wind. He just stared into her eyes. That was what he loved about her most. Those crystal blue eyes. He couldn't see the color but they were just as beautiful.

" Where's my mom and dad?" Emma had woken up. She was standing right behind him. He spun around and faced her. He started to sweat. Josh never told him how to explain to her why she was left home while the rest of the family was flying half way across the globe.

" They. . . Uh. . They thought it was . . . Best that you . . er. . . stayed here?" Sam asked. With each word he could see she was getting more and more upset.

" But. It was Pop-Pop. I wanted to go to the funeral!" Tears started to fill her eyes. Sam had to think of what to do.

" Emma. . . . Wait! Don't cry, they said it would be too hard on you. Besides,. . . you. . . er. . . Have basketball practice tomorrow! Remember? The spot you got instead of Sakura!" Emma smiled a little. Then her face fell again.

" They put you in charge of my meds, didn't they?" she asked him as if she was shining a bright light in Sam's eyes like cops would do during and interrogation.

" Well yes and no. Josh just said to remind you about them." Sam shrugged.

" Okay" Emma mumbled.

" Are you hungry?"

" No. I don't feel like eating." Emma mumbled. She sat right down on the couch. She laid down, stretched and laid on her side. Sam sat down in the armchair. They stayed like that. They were silent for a long time. Soon she drifted off to sleep. Sam fell asleep in the armchair soon after.

They had been asleep for a long time. Sam woke up at about midnight to Emma crying. He walked over and looked at Emma. She was crying in her sleep. He picked her up and carried her up to the bedroom. He laid her on her polka dot bed spread. Despite the red blotches on her face she looked so peaceful sleeping. But Sam didn't know what was going on in her head.

EMMA'S DREAM WORLD

Emma was in a black hole. It was the hole she was in when she would transform into

Sailor Star. She was floating. In her Sailor suit. Someone was calling her name. The voice sounded like hers, but she knew it couldn't be her own.

" Emma. . . Emma of earth. . ." the voice called. Emma looked around. She saw a faint shadow in the distance.

" Who are you. How do you know my name?" Emma called out. The shadow turned into a girl and the girl got closer. When Emma got a good look at the girl she gasped. The girl looked just like her. the only difference was the girl had a yellow crescent on her forehead, with a gold star sitting on the rim. But everything else was exactly the same. The curly brown hair on her shoulders, crystal like blue eyes. While Emma was in her Sailor Star form, the girl was wearing a long flowing yellow gown. Like Emma's dress for the Autumn Formal only it was way longer, and it was made out of silk while the other dress was made of a cotton blend.

Suddenly Emma and the girl were transported to a silver palace. The entire hall was made out of the most beautiful marble that she had ever seen.

" Emma of Earth. I have come to you on a serious matter." The girls said. She was obviously Emma's age. Emma was wondering who this girl was. Then she remembered of the one girl who would possibly look exactly like her, that would have those markings on her forehead.

" Hoshiko?" Emma asked. Hoshiko smiled warmly.

" Yes. I am Hoshiko. Princess of both the planet Hoshi and the Moon." Hoshiko replied bowing.

" No. No. I should be the one bowing Princess!" Emma said as she bent on one knee.

" Emma. Don't be silly! We are the same princess, remember!" Hoshiko laughed. She had the same laugh. The laugh that Emma knew Sam loved. Emma smiled.

" Hoshiko how did you get here? I thought you had died!" Emma asked her.

" The necklace you wear around your neck holds my soul. Well, the part of my soul that contains the powers of Sailor Star." Hoshiko replied. " The rest of my soul lays in your body. Or should I say your soul. My soul is the powers you use. When you concentrated on protecting the girl Maya, the power in the necklace was what did it. When that happened I knew Rini had found my true reincarnation. Of course soon you will develop your own powers. But right now you have control of the powers I had before I died."

" I see. So at the moment I have your powers, but my own are developing."

" Yep." Hoshiko said.

" But why did you come now? I mean, of all times, my. . . grandfather just passed. . ."

" Yes. I know of your grandfather's passing. I am sorry. But I came tonight to warn you."

" Warn me?" Emma asked. She suddenly didn't like where this conversation was headed.

" Yes. I have to warn you of a monster. A terrible monster that lives on the jealousy of people. They possess mortals with a high amount of jealousy in their system. The monster you battled first was one of the Sisters of Envy. You destroyed Manako, the elder sister. The younger sister Monoka is out for revenge. She has of course set her targets on you. Monoka will possess the one person who is most jealous of you and She will attack what the mortal is jealous of. Then when she is through she'll attack you. And I believe you have an idea of the mortal who is most jealous of you."

" Sakura, and Monoka will attack Sam" Emma said grimly. Hoshiko nodded sadly.

" I will come to you every night to train you on how to defeat Monoka. Even though she is the youngest sister, she is by far the most powerful. And you must keep and eye on Sakura. Keep her away from Sam by all means possible. I know it will be a long while before Monoka will attack, but the higher Sakura's jealousy level is, the more powerful Monoka will become." Emma nodded. Before Hoshiko left, Emma remembered something that Rini had told her.

" Hoshiko, don't forget your promise to Rini. You said you' d meet her again someday!" Emma called out. Hoshiko smiled.

" Don't worry. When the time comes, I will visit my sister." Hoshiko smiled and faded away. " Good bye Emma of Earth, I will see you tomorrow!" was the last thing she said.

" Emma. Just Emma" Emma whispered before waking up.

END OF EMMA'S DREAM WORLD

Emma woke with a start. She looked around and found herself in her bedroom. She bounced out of bed and ran down the hall where Sam was sleeping. He was sleeping on his back, with his arm hanging off the bed. Emma ran and jumped on top of him. He woke up and found Emma with her arms around his neck and kissing him repeatedly.

" Emma -kiss- what's wrong -kiss kiss kiss- what are you doing in the bedroom? -kiss-," Sam asked.

" Sammy, please promise me you won't go anywhere near Sakura. Don't talk to her, don't look at her, try to avoid her at all costs!" Emma said not letting go of Sam.

" But that's what I've been doing all along! What's going on?" Sam asked.

" Just trust me. Don't associate with her at all!" Emma said. Tears ran down her cheek just thinking of what Hoshiko said to her.

" No problem." Sam said holding her in his arms. " I love you. Emma"

" I love you" she said. Emma soon nodded off again. She didn't have another dream with Hoshiko.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Emma and Sam spent the few hours before basketball practice, shopping. They first went to the shoes store for basketball sneakers. Then they went to the book store. For, Emma all of a sudden had a bad case of the Reading Frenzy. She got a few mangas, the books Inkheart and Inkspell. And she looked through a poetry book. But she soon found one that made her start crying all over again.

If Tears could Build a Stairway

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again

No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why

Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know

But know we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store

Since you'll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay

Author Unknown

Sam saw Emma crying over the page where the poem was. She looked up at him." I need to send this to my mom, for my grandfather's grave stone" she said tears rolling down her face. Sam nodded and paid for it.

A.N) This has been my favorite poem since my grandfather died. I hope you liked this very sad chapter.
