Author's note: I'm back! Sorry that this is late. This is the chapter that earns the mature rating I think. Let's get on with the story all right?
Chapter 8: Training
The next morning was the start of training for the senshi, they decided to train right outside of Raye and Mina's place – since there was a lot of open ground for them to practice on – as well as many trees so no one would be able to see them. When the senshi (and Mamoru) gathered for their morning training – much to Usagi's unhappiness and constant complaining (especially since Luna and Artemis got to stay in bed); Zoe was already there, waiting outside for them.
"How did you get here so quick?" Rei asked Zoe as everyone gathered around.
"Teleporting." Zoe replied
"Oh right I knew that." Rei said, smacking her forehead.
Zoe started talking – but after every word that she said, she would teleport nearby a different senshi, "today I'm going to teach all of you how to teleport."
"That sounds pretty cool – I wish that I had had that power in high school. Then I could sleep in more and transport myself to class at the last second by teleportation – and no running either! It would've been a dream come true. Zoe where have you been all of my life?" Usagi asked – as she started to wake up a little bit.
"Still the same old Usagi-chan I see." Zoe said with a fond smile. "All right ladies, and gentleman" Zoe said nodding to Mamoru, who nodded back at her. "Believe me when I say that this battle will not come easily. Faunus will try to do anything to catch you off guard by doing things like teleporting behind you, and then quickly attacking you from behind. Teleportation really helps against your foe – especially when considering Faunus – since he can teleport too. He is absolutely ruthless – and we certainly don't want what happened at Usagi's wedding to happen again. I got lucky the first time when I could save the few of you whom were captured, but it was mainly because Faunus did not know that I was here yet. If you get captured this time – it's going to be harder for all of us to get you back. So this time we're going to be prepared by not even getting into that type of situation – through the use of teleportation. I know that you all already know how to do it. All of us learned this during senshi training in the Silver Millennium; the only problem is that being reincarnated obviously does affect your memory a lot. I've already given an example of how to teleport. Now I want to see if I can help you guys teleport without me telling you too much about how to do it. I will say this though – once you're about to teleport – you will see this 'mental map' of the area where you currently are. Then you just see yourself standing somewhere within that mental map. I don't want you to try to leave the area, just see the mental map of the temple – and see yourself somewhere else nearby – like say for instance that you do it Minako." Zoe said, looking at Minako with a smile, "currently you're standing next to Rei – when you teleport I want you to stand next to someone else. Once again everyone, make sure that you don't think of anywhere else except for here – because finding you will be difficult if you leave the temple. I guess it's easier to do than explain. It really should come natural to you. Who wants to go first?" Zoe said looking at everyone.
Setsuna stepped forward, "I will." She said, looking at Zoe directly in the eye – almost challenging her. Zoe looked down at the shorter woman and smiled. That's my Sets, always the first to jump up and do something.
"Go ahead Setsuna-chan." Zoe said, curious to see if Setsuna would still be able to teleport – sure she remembered how to, but Zoe knew that it had probably been a while since she had even tried it.
Setsuna stood in the middle of a semi-circle, thinking – not too hard, but still thinking. She was nervous – because she wanted to impress Zoe, so she started counting. I know that I can do this – I've done this so many times before. I really want to ace this test of hers. All of a sudden, when Setsuna started getting calm, she saw the 'mental map' that Zoe had been talking about. It was almost as if she had left her body and was standing over it – looking for a place to move to. She searched around, seeing everyone around her within her mind – deciding where to go. Setsuna noticed that Zoe was standing next to Minako – and decided that she would plant herself there. With that, in her 'mental map' she saw herself almost floating towards Zoe – she was so graceful when she was flying. It felt like it was taking forever to get to Zoe, but in reality Setsuna had teleported in about five seconds. She opened her eyes and she was standing next to Zoe – her lips touching Zoe's lips. Much to everyone's shock – Zoe welcomed this kiss and seemed to thirst for more from Setsuna – who had been surprised – but happy that Zoe still seemed to share the same affection that they had for one another during the Silver Millennium. Everyone else continued to stare with Setsuna and Zoe kissed – until Darien coughed uncomfortably. The two senshi broke apart from one another and looked at everyone embarrassed.
"Well….ummm…I…." Zoe started, very flustered and blushing – then looking from the senshi to Setsuna and back again.
"They all have a right to know Zoe." Setsuna said – not looking embarrassed at all, "we were together during the Silver Millennium…" then she looked at Zoe, "I still have feelings for you – and I know that you have them for me. Don't deny that you still want to be with me too."
Zoe stared at Setsuna and gave her a small smile, "I've thought about you constantly since the day that I left to fight during the Silver Millennium." She touched Setsuna's face. "I think that we should go and talk about this somewhere else." Zoe whispered to Setsuna – who nodded. "Well everyone I need to umm…talk to Setsuna for a while; I would like you all to practice teleportation while we're chatting. I want all of you to be able to do it by the time that I come back with Setsuna."
"Right!" The senshi said together, but still looked on as Setsuna left with Zoe; they immediately noticed that Zoe had grabbed Setsuna's hand, and that Setsuna was leaning on Zoe's shoulder – the two looked like a happy couple from the back.
"Why did you leave me without saying goodbye Zoe – I wanted one last kiss, to see your face one more time before I left…"
"If I had seen your face one last time – I wouldn't have been able to go and do my duty. I knew that you would be heartbroken as well – but I didn't want to impede on your duty either. Our first priority is still to protect the princess – the future queen of the moon."
"But Zoe – you were still a princess too – my princess, my one and only."
"Setsuna-chan…"
"Call me what you used to call me – back in the Silver Millennium."
"Sets. Listen to me – I'm sorry. I never wanted to hurt you – that wasn't my intention at all. I couldn't bear to see the tears running down your face – the hurt in your beautiful eyes when I told you that I was leaving."
"Do you not understand the fact that it hurt me more when I had to find out from someone else that you were gone?" Setsuna demanded.
"I know that – and I apologize. I swear to you that from now on if I leave – you'll be the first to know."
"Okay then." Setsuna said, pausing to think of her next retort, "so what about after all of this is over? When Faunus is vanquished? You're going to go back to your planet aren't you? The one that you left us – left everyone for?"
"I told you – that I didn't want to leave – queen Serenity sent me to fight off the greater evil that might come into the Moon Kingdom's region in another galaxy on another planet. You know all of this. As for after this is over…I have people to protect and a planet to look after – but I would love to stay here for as long as I can."
"There are so many things that I don't know about you now Zoe and it's frustrating. Do you have your own senshi? Did you fall in love with one of them? Have you been thinking about me – I have so many questions all of which that I feel deserve answers."
"The whole entire time that I've been on my planet – I've been thinking of you. I haven't dated anyone; I haven't even so much as looked at anyone else. I do have my own senshi at home….they were going to come with me – but I told them that I could do this with the sailor team – the team that I was originally a part of. Listen Sets – I can't live without you, and these long years have been very painful – and I've been pretty lonely recently…" Zoe leaned in close to Setsuna to the point where their lips were already close to touching.
Setsuna let Zoe move in even closer, and with a swoop, their lips connected. Setsuna let out a little moan of pleasure as Zoe deepened the kiss. Then Zoe held Setsuna close as she teleported them both to a soft patch of grass that was covered by bushes. Setsuna got on top of Zoe and started putting her hands under Zoe's shirt and lightly touching her already hardened nipples. Zoe moaned in pleasure, and brought Setsuna back down to continue kissing her. Zoe started teasing Setsuna a little, lightly touching her sides as pulled down Setsuna's skirt and with a smile – realized that Setsuna wasn't wearing any panties. "You were always a kinky woman Sets." Zoe whispered into Setsuna's ear as she gently grabbed a handful of Setsuna's large breasts.
Zoe started going lower and lower on Setsuna's body while teasing her nipples with her tongue until she reached Setsuna's sweet spot. Zoe played with a it a little bit – and Setsuna groaned with such pleasure that Zoe thought that she would have an orgasm without Setsuna even touching her. Zoe whispered into Setsuna's ear, "does that feel good baby? Just like you remember it?" To which Setsuna moaned an "mmmm" as Zoe slid her fingers into the already pretty juicy pleasure zone. Setsuna was obviously enjoying herself – as far as Zoe could tell. As Setsuna reached her first climax, Zoe grinned happily. Then Setsuna wanted to return the favor – she started sucking on Zoe's nipples – which lead Zoe to moan in bliss as Setsuna pulled down her pants and started kissing her flat stomach, then her sides. Setsuna went lower and then teased Zoe even more by kissing the insides of her thighs, and licking them lightly. Then Setsuna buried her head between Zoe's legs and gave her pleasure center a serious tongue-lashing – to which Zoe loved. The hookup between the two senshi was quick – because Zoe had remembered that she was going to finish the training for the other senshi. "I guess that we should make an appearance now – I wouldn't want them to get worried about us and come looking, then find us with both of our panties down." Zoe said, putting her clothes back on.
Setsuna nodded and gave her partner a smile as she too put her clothes back on. "So we're officially back on again I take it?"
"You know it" Zoe said – and once the battle with Faunus is over – maybe then I can give you a better idea of my bedroom style that you've been missing so much."
Setsuna smiled and held Zoe's hand as they teleported to where the senshi had been training. The senshi dutifully practiced while Zoe and Setsuna were gone – and by the time that they returned everyone – including Usagi (much to the shock of the other senshi). Once Zoe tested everyone's ability to teleport – it was time to teach everyone their individual powers. "Great – I'm glad that it was pretty easy for all of you to teleport. I guess that re-learning old powers is a lot easier than learning new ones?" Zoe asked the group as Usagi proved to her that she could teleport – even though Usagi landed on her ass a couple of times.
"Now there's one more thing that I have to re-teach all of you before we go to meet Faunus."
"What's that?" Haruka asked, with her hands on her hips.
"Our combination powers – those that require you to have some bits of psychic ability – like the one that Sets and I used yesterday against Faunus. The best part is that you guys can use them separately from me – so they will be useful in future battles. So with that -everyone should transform." The senshi transformed, and were ready to go. "Sets – do you want to help me with this? It will go by more quickly – and we have to be prepared just in case Faunus wants to try to take us by surprise."
Suddenly a loud bang erupted from behind Sailor Pluto – they all turned around just in time to see that Faunus was behind her, "sailor senshi – if you want to see Setsuna again – I suggest that you battle me in an hour at a place that I have picked out. In an hour's time I will be at the front of the temple waiting. If you decide not to battle me, then she dies." Faunus said, twisting her arm and Setsuna groaned in pain.
"Sets!" Sailor Myriad screamed – and powered up, filled with anger, "Myriad psychic…"
"Ah-a-ah!" Faunus interrupted her, "hurt me and she will be killed instantly. Remember sailor senshi – one hour." With that he disappeared and Sailor Myriad growled at the place where he had been standing.
"You fucking pussy! Give her back right now or I swear that I will slit your throat with my ninja stars quicker than you can blink."
Sailor Moon rushed over to her cousin, and gave her a hug, which Myriad accepted – but you could tell that she was still mad. "All right sailor senshi and Tuxedo Mask" Sailor Myriad said as she nodded at Tuxedo Mask. "It seems that our training session is being cut short – I have a lot of things to teach you in only an hour. I really hope that you're all quick learners."
