The Missing Sailor

Chapter 26

" PRESENTS!" that's what Emma woke up to Christmas morning. Emma hadn't expected a seventeen year old girl to be jumping on her. Emma opened her eyes to Serena.

" Someone had too much eggnog last night." Emma mumbled before kicking Serena off the bed.

" Come on Mama! Time for presents!" Serena chirped. Emma sat up abruptly.

" Who are you calling Mama?" Emma yelled. Darien ran in at that.

" Good morning sleeping beauty. Serena had too much eggnog last night." Darien said.

" I would have never guessed." Emma said sarcastically. Darien laughed and picked up Serena.

" ooo Darien! You naughty boy!" Serena said . Emma sweat dropped. And rolled out of bed. Except...

" OW! MOTHER-," Amara yelled. Emma fell right on top of her. Michelle was laying beside Amara and woke up to Amara's yells. Emma was laying across Amara's stomach and her head was on the floor and feet propped up on the bed.

" Good morning Emma." Michelle yawned.

" Morning Michelle. Merry Christmas." Emma smiled. Amara was seriously tired of having a 13 year old girl laying on her.

" Get off me!" Amara said pushing Emma onto Michelle. Emma fell into Michelle's lap, who fell over on top of sleeping Rini, who smacked Hotaru who screamed bloody murder. Everyone looked at her. Hotaru looked around wide eyed.

" Um...Another Sailor Scout of death dream" Hotaru said minding that Meggie and Kasadi were still asleep on the floor. Everyone else nodded. Emma got up and brushed herself off. She looked over at her friend and smiled slyly. Everyone noticed.

" Emma. What are you thinking?" Rini asked. Emma just smiled and walked over to Meggie.

" Good morning Star shine! The earth says, Hello!" Emma whispered in English. Meggie grunted and grabbed a handful of Emma's hair.

" You know very well that is Kathleen and my line." Meggie said in English. Meggie was referring to their friend Kathleen back home.

" Awwww." Emma said. " Now let go of my hair."

" Make me."

" I will."

" I'm waiting."

" give me a sec"

" Emma!"

" I'll race you to the Christmas pancakes." Emma said. Meggie's eyes flew open. Emma and Meggie ran downstairs in lightning speed. But of course, they ran into something...more like someone. There was a very tall Japanese man in front of them. Emma recognized him immediately. " Uncle Ichiro!" Emma yelled and jumped into his arms.

" Konnichiwa Emma-chan." Ichiro smiled.

" Konnichiwa Hanzo-sama." Meggie bowed.

" Meggie-chan! Konnichiwa!" Ichiro bowed back. Ichiro was Emma's uncle. ( obviously.) He could only speak about two words of English, so Emma and her family were often translators. He was Hotaka's younger brother. ( A.N:when Ichiro speaks. He will be talking in Japanese but will be translated into English)

" Uncle Ichiro! When did you get here?" Emma asked.

" About five minutes ago. I brought Ayame and Kori too." Ichiro said. Ayame and Kori were the cutest two year old twins you would ever meet. Ichiro was a single dad after his ex disappeared and left six month old twins with him. But he managed it okay. Amara, Michelle, Rini, Hotaru and Kasadi walked in. Amara stopped in her tracks.

" Oh my god." Amara said. Ichiro stood and looked at her. " You're Hanzo Ichiro!"

( A.N: I forgot to mention. Ichiro is a race car driver and Amara's idol.)

" Yes?" Ichiro said. Amara ripped from Michelle's grasp and ran to shake his hand.

" I am a great fan Hanzo-sama. I have watched every race in your career." Amara said. " You're 34, Capricorn. Divorced, two twin daughters, hope to race in America where your brother, nephew, and niece... live..." Amara trailed off as the thought hit her. " Hanzo?" she turned to Emma. " WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE RELATED TO THE BEST DRIVER ON EARTH!"

" I thought you knew!" Emma said defensively. Amara flushed.

" Nice to meet you...er?" Ichiro stammered.

" Amara." Amara answered.

" Amara." Ichiro said. Then Michelle came over.

" Amara, you said you's help Hanzo-sama make a real pot roast. Your special recipe." She said.

" Michelle it's only 7 am. We have plenty of time." Amara said. Michelle 'humphed' ( jealous much?)

" EMMA-CHAN!" two little girls ran into the hallway. " MEGGIE-CHAN!" Ayame ran to Emma, Kori went to Meggie. The little girls knew Meggie because of a tiring baby-sitting job, when Ichiro and the girls decided to visit. This was of course before Meggie learned to speak Japanese. Surprisingly, it is very difficult to baby-sit, two year old twins when they don't speak a word of English. ( -gasp- really? .)

" BREAKFAST!" Beth hollered. Emma and everyone else ran to the kitchen. It was a major rule for the family, that they weren't allowed to open presents until everyone had eaten breakfast to their fill. Emma had some worries about Serena. Serena, Darien, the Tsukino's, Sam, Mina, Josh, Ami, Rei, Trista and Lita were all chowing down.

" Ami, Lita? I thought you were on vacation."

" Dad broke his leg" Lita said between bites.

" Mom had an emergency surgery just as we were about to board the plane." Ami said. " So our parents said we should come here for a fun filled Christmas morning and go home for Christmas dinner."

" Mmm-Hmm." Lita mumbled with her mouth ful.

" Emma-chan! Hungry!" Ayame said in perfect english. Emma and Meggie looked at each other.

" Daddy." Emma asked. " Have I been speaking in Japanese for too long, or did Ayame just speak English."

" No. Ayame and Kori have been watching American television. Of course, Ichiro was too busy, but the twins are officially bilingual." Hotaka said. Emma smiled. She took Ayame's and Kori's hands and walked them over to their seats. She lifted them up and put them in. The she walked over to Sam and kissed him on the cheek. She could here several men growling. ( Hotaka, Josh, Ichiro and suprisingly Darien and Amara. She's have to talk to them about that later.) And she heard three females gag. ( Rini, Meggie and Kasadi) and quite a few 'awwws' ( Ikuko, Beth, Serena, Trista, Hotaru, Michelle, Rei, Lita, Mina, and Ami.) Emma and Sam went red. Ayame and Kori were just minding their own buisness.

" What?" Emma asked. Everyone went back to their food/ conversations. Emma sat between Josh and Sam and grabbed a stack of pancakes with apple topping. She took a bite and smiled. " mmmm. Nummy mommy!"

" Nope not me!" Beth said. " Lita." Emma looked at Lita.

" You're hired."

" Excuse me young lady! I am the cook here." Beth said waving a spoon.

" No. for when Josh is in charge of dinner!" Emma said.

" Oh. Okay."

" HEY!" Josh yelled. Everyone laughed. Everyone sat down to the pancakes and ate.

" Okay. This one is for Mina." Beth said handing a large box to the blonde on the couch. " From Emma." Mina smiled and ripped it open. Inside was a giant 'Artemis' squishy pillow.

" Aww. It's almost like the real thing!" Mina smiled squeezing it. Everyone thought Mina was talking about hugging her cat. But no. What was going through her mind was squeezing Artemis to death when he annoyed her. But no body had to know that. " arigato Emma-chan!"

" you're welcome!" Emma said.

" Okay." Beth said. " This is for Serena from Me and Hotaka." Serena jumped up and down in her seat. She took the box and opened it.

" Its...a...what is this exactly?" Serena asked.

" Shakespeare's poems and stories on tape." Beth said. Serena smiled.

" Arigato." she said. Then she leaned over to Darien. " Here you take it. I think you'll enjoy it more" she murmured. Darien nodded and took the tape.

" Now, Rei. This is from Serena." Beth said. Rei smiled and opened the box. And inside was a fire extinguisher. Rei scowled. There was a previous incident where Rei's fire powers got out of hand and the kitchen nearly blew up. ( A.N: I will write a one-shot about that!)

" SERENA!" Rei yelled. Serena was laughing her head off. While no one else had a clue what was going on.

" MOVING ON!" Beth said. " Emma, this is from Sam." Emma smiled and took the box. She opened it and inside was, Sailor Moon the Series Seasons 1-3, Sailor Star Poster, Sailor Star Action Figure, and a Hoshiko Painting. There was a note inside too. Emma picked it up. On the front it said.

Read this after presents. I'll be in the backyard.

Love, Sam.

Emma smiled and Kissed him. " Thank you Shingo." Emma smiled.

" Watch it. it is Sam. That's what it says on my birth certificate!" Sam snapped. Emma just laughed.

" I want to give Sam his present." Emma said. Beth nodded and picked up a small package. Sam opened it an smiled.

Green Day, American Idiot. Completely Japanese translated Sam smiled and hugged Emma.

" Thank you!" Sam said. Emma smiled.

" Hey. You can speak more than just 'you're welcome' in English now!" Emma smiled.

" I have gotten some How To.. Tapes." He said. Emma just smiled. Lots of presents were given. Kori and Ayame made Emma and Meggie each a finger painting. ( still wet of course) and Kasadi got a clay ball from the twins. Ichiro got everyone really expensive gifts. Even for those he didn't know. Serena and Rini got a lot of Bunny stuff. Emma got tons of stuff she always wanted. ( including the guitar she's been drooling over for a good 3 years.) Meggie got a bass, Kasadi got a key board. Amara got a autograph from Ichiro. And tons of other stuff to everyone. Soon, Emma met Sam in the back yard.

" Hey you." Sam said. He was leaning against a tree as Emma zipped up her jacket. Sam came over and hugged her. Emma smiled and hugged back. " I love you."

" You tell me that every chance you get Sam. Believe me I know. And I love you too." Emma replied.

" I want you to read the letter." Sam said. Emma nodded and opened up the paper.

Dear Emma,

There was something I didn't tell you after we told Serena about our future. That night Hoshiko came to my dream. She looked exactly like you. Down to every strand of hair. And she was beautiful. Just like you. It scared me at first when you told me about you being a Senshi. It really did. It scared me even more when you told me that my future wife and daughter were going to be killed. But you are strong, and I know you will succeed. You just need a confidence boost. You have family that loves you. And Serena is even planning a wedding. She says it's hers but I don't think she would cast herself as a bridesmaid. And I don't think Rini would be sitting in a cage in the back of the church ( okay maybe she would , this is Serena we're talking about.). But, I want you to know, that no matter what happens. You will win. And I will be there when you do. And we can be happy the rest of our lives together as a family. You, Me, Hoshiko and the other ten kids we'll have.

" TEN!" Emma exclaimed. Sam laughed. " I don't think so buddy!"

" Keep reading." he said. Emma sighed and continued.

I'm kidding. But, don't worry about anything except fighting crime. Because you're my pretty soldier in a sailor suit. ( I know. I stole that from the show) But remember, I love you.

Love,

Samuel S. Tsukino

" TEN!" Emma said again after she finished reading. " If that is your plan. You're not coming anywhere near me when we get married!"

" I said I was kidding!" Sam said. Emma crossed her arms over her chest. She smiled and went over to Sam. And kissed him. She put his arms around her waist and she put her own arms around his neck. But, suddenly she got a massive headache. She pulled away and put her hands to her head. Her head was throbbing.

" Ow." She whispered. Pain shot down her spine. She crumbled to the ground. The snow was cold against her legs. But she really didn't care. Sam panicked.

" Emma? Daijibou? (Sp?)" Sam asked. He then looked on her forehead. A star shape was glowing. " Emma?"

" I'm fine. My head hurts that's all." She said. But then she blacked out. All she could here was Sam calling her name.
