Chapter 5

Kagome could only sigh, ever since the date with Mamoru, strange things had started happening. The dark haired girl couldn't get up enough courage to talk with Luna or Mamoru himself, Ami on the other hand was going to go home with her tonight. Kagome fully intended to ask the girl for help, Kagome felt that she needed it more than anything. It had been two days since the youma attack at Ueno park, at it left Kagome shaken the way Mamoru spoke of the war made something in her ache, she was certain that the dreams were of a time long forgotten and it worried her more than anything else that had occurred in the youngster's life.

Blue eyes closed, recently she'd been trying to recall her own dreams and something seemed to stand out the most. The person who'd been the focus of the dreams seemed to be despairing even before the Kingdom began to fall to invaders. Something had made it hard for the person in her dreams to move, and she'd been killed in a relatively vicious manner by a man with silver shoulder length hair and bright icy blue eyes. The thing that seemed to stand out the most was the man in question seemed to regret it almost immediately, he'd bent over trying to stop the blood only for tears to fall down over the woman's face.

The first time she'd had that particular variation of the dreams she'd woken up screaming, her mother had held Kagome until the young girl finally stopped crying. Dark circles were starting to form under her eyes from lack of sleep and worry, but Kagome couldn't find it in herself to care. A deep sigh seemed to rumble along her desk as Haruna's voice echoed across the walls in a very boring drone, letting her head fall to the desk Kagome could only wait.

It was nearly an hour before school finally allowed them to leave, and Kagome could readily admit she was more than a little happy at being away from the school. While the school day generally allowed her over taxed mind to relax today it just seemed to make things worse, it had been a review day for several of her classes and Kagome had been able to do nothing but think about the things that had occurred on Sunday. The man Jadeite, or knowing that Mamoru was Tuxedo Mask, whom Luna seemed to think of as an enemy? Was she supposed to simply give up her life for this princess that she didn't even know? How could Kagome even stop from resenting this person, Luna made it sound like the rest of her life would be spent watching over a delicate life.

The walk home was incredibly quiet, Ami had glanced at her out of the corner of her cornflower blue eyes on more than one occasion and Kagome felt guilty for worrying the other girl. The dark haired girl could only give a weak smile, the only good thing that had happened was that Mamoru had given her time to adjust and made it clear he would wait on her. Kagome had almost cried, there was so much pressure rolling around her now and it was a great relief to know that it wouldn't be coming from Mamoru as well.

Pleasantries were exchanged with her mother, before the two young scouts moved up the stairs toward Kagome's room. Once the door was shut and they were both assured of their privacy Kagome couldn't keep herself from speaking any longer.

"You know I went on a date with Mamoru on Sunday, he took me out to Ueno Park and we went through the Zoo. Some of the things that happened, well I just need someone to talk to." Kagome spoke something was telling her to keep some of the things that had occurred to herself, or that she should only speak with the people that she trusted. As much as she liked, or even loved Luna the cat was very stern and wouldn't be willing to understand how Kagome was feeling.

Ami studied Kagome, it had been a long time since she'd had friend and very few of them had been comfortable enough with the genius to share their secrets. The blue haired girl could admit it felt nice to be included in such things, "I won't talk about it unless you want me to Kagome."

The dark haired Tsukino, studied the blue haired girl it was so strange for the young heroine. She'd never felt so close to someone so quickly, in the last month it had brought the two of them to a very good understanding of one another. Both of them had dreams, and it was nice to be able to share those thoughts and ideas with someone outside the family. Kagome finally nodded in thanks, before speaking "The date ended rather abruptly, while Mamoru and I were at the Zoo we were attacked by a Youma. " Ami's gasp of shock at least made her feel better, at least she wasn't the only one that hadn't expected it.

"I was eventually separated from Mamoru. So I transformed, and ended up fighting the monster. Once the beast was defeated, Jadeite appeared. I've told you about him once, the blonde? He just seemed to radiate power, I don't think I've felt so week when near someone else until Jadeite tried to kill me. A rose nicked him as I lost consciousness, when I woke up I could hear Mamoru and one of his neighbors talking. Mamoru knows I'm Sailor Moon, Ami!" Kagome paused, it felt like a weight was being lifted off her shoulders.

Ami frowned, "That wasn't it though was it? What else happened Kagome?"

The ebony haired woman nodded once, before she began to nibble on her bottom lip. "Ami…Mamoru is Tuxedo Mask, I just don't know what to do. He told me about having dreams about the Silver Imperial Crystal, but that they dreams have changed to war. What…what he was telling me was so similar to my own dreams, a golden kingdom ruined beyond recognition. A white kingdom on the moon that fell to a similar enemy?"

Similar blue eyes lit with recognition, "A white kingdom that could always view the earth?"

"Are you having them to?" Kagome could only gasp in surprise and worry, they three of them really had nothing much in common save the fact that they were all rather smart and were now fighting aliens. When Ami nodded that she too, was having the dreams; something in Kagome stomach jumped. Why wasn't Luna telling them more? There were too many questions, and what if there was more at stake than just this Moon Princess? These monsters at the moment were attacking humans and even if they were looking for this "princess" they were doing everything in their power to help protect the civilians.

A quiet seemed to wash over the two girls, both had a similar look of worry a vulnerable fear that something was going to happen that was outside of their ability. Kagome finally moved, before hugging the blue girl and the Tsukino girl wouldn't admit to being utterly relieved when the hug was returned by strong arms. Sometimes being held made things better, and as much as Kagome liked Mamoru he wasn't someone that she could rely on yet. For the last month, Kagome and Ami had been fighting monsters that were happy to try to kill them. The two of them had fought together and knew from experience that they could depend on the other.

Neither of them said anything for a long time, instead both of them clamored onto the comfortable sized bed and simply laid there. Neither of them were really interested in school work at the moment, in roughly three weeks the first trimester of the year would be over, and summer break would be a welcome relief to what they had been trying to accomplish. It was more than likely that they would continue to be bombarded with youma, but it wouldn't have to contend with their school work which would be something of a relief. The school year was almost always busy, and while neither of them really minded the work it didn't do them a bit of good if they were so overly stressed that they couldn't find time to relax.

Both girls went still as a radio came on, it was something rather common in Kagome's household. Kagome's mama and her little brother Shingo both loved music more than they probably should, as such almost every single time that Ami had visited music had been played. While it could be distracting, for the most part it was just part of the background noise. While Kagome's home wasn't really in an extremely busy part of down, it didn't help with noise that could be found in all around the suburban building. In fact in some ways it was worse, dog and cats could be heard at all hours of the day and neighbors while friendly didn't really believe in being quiet.

For Ami it had been a new experience, it wasn't something that she would like to live with but it had been interesting to the see how differently her friend lived. Kagome on the other hand was ready to move in when Aoi-san would allow her to move in. Aoi Mizuno was probably one of the most beautiful women in Tokyo and it was easy to see why she was such a well-respected woman. Ami's mother while beautiful was also unfailingly kind and had a rather big heart considering the things that had occurred in her work.

The two bed room apartment that Ami and Aoi lived in was spacious and quiet, and while Kagome thought that at some point this might bother her the two nights that she had stayed with them over the weekend had been a now form of bliss. There was no Usagi whining with their mother about grades, Shingo wasn't there to scream and prank Usagi. The only one who would have been welcomed into the tiny home would probably be Souta, for all his love of sports Souta was a quiet and friendly little boy who idolized his older siblings.

Kagome finally shifted, until she was lying on her side, head propped up by her chin resting in the palm of her hand. "What do you think we should do Ami?"

Ami's eyes were closed as she simply listened to the sounds that were going on around her. It was relatively quiet now, no one was up and about it was too late and night. A frown covered Ami's face at the question, the young genius wasn't really sure what to do and agreed with Kagome. Luna was keeping to much from them, so much that it could actually hurt them instead of helping. Never mind the fact that Tuxedo Mask had been helping them more and more every fight, it also explained why Mamoru had begun to look as tired as the two of them felt.

Soft blue eyes finally opened to look into a second set of eyes that were so very much like her own, "I'm not sure Kagome. We really can't stop now. If we did the city would be in a bit of trouble, have you noticed that Sailor V has suddenly stopped being a hero? More and more the reports on violence are going down, but we aren't mentioned and neither is Sailor V. It's almost as if someone is blocking the media from finding out about us."

Kagome nodded in agreement, "I had noticed that, after the first time or two I helped or saved someone information about Sailor Moon seemed to simply disappear. I mean it's really very strange. There is also the fact that we have something else to worry about, when Mamoru and I were at the zoo….after I finished off the Youma I was attacked by a human. I mean we've seen Jadeite before, but he's never physically or magically attacked us before. If Mamoru hadn't been there as Tuxedo Mask, I think he would and could have killed me."

Ami's shifted then; to study Kagome, it was easy to see the worry and concern on the darker haired girl's face. Things had become more dangerous the longer they were in this battle, certainly they trained but neither of them had really signed up for this. In all honesty while Ami was utterly happy at meeting Kagome and was joyous at the fact she was beginning to make friends the young blue haired girl was beginning to resent Luna. The young genius wouldn't be surprised if Kagome was beginning to resent the black cat either, the darker haired girl had been relatively happy and seemed to care a great deal for Mamoru and Ami really couldn't see what was so wrong with the older boy that out Luna off so much.

The soft murmuring of the radio made both girls pause again, this time instead of music that both Ami and Kagome were so used to an odd radio program was on. It was a love program that happened to read love letters that were sent into the station, most of them were rather pathetic but the show had become very popular in the last few days. Neither of them were really that interested in the show, most of the love letters that had been sent in were rather tasteless.

"Oh…you know we really should get to sleep. We have school tomorrow.." Ami finally spoke, the two blue eyed girls shared looks of suffering before the covers were pulled up and the two of them cuddled down into the warmth of the old worn bed.

O o O w O o O

Jadeite sighed in relief; he'd brought in a large amount of energy and Queen Beryl while no longer overly angry at the lack of energy was furious at the lack of progress made to find the silver crystal. He was only thankful that the Queen hadn't learned about the attack from yesterday, Beryl would be furious if she knew he'd had the chance to destroy one of the Sailor Scouts and had failed. The blonde shuddered at the thought, Nephrite had seen it yesterday and had teased him silly. The brunette had refused to speak of it outside the chambers and for that he would be forever grateful to the older general.

Sometimes Jadeite regretted this, and he wasn't entirely sure how he'd come to work for the Queen. Sometimes the blonde had flashes of an American couple, they would be laughing and playing then something would happen and they begged for him to come home. They would beg for the person who took him, to return their son to them. Jadeite wasn't entirely sure that his name was really Jadeite, but it was so fuzzy as if it had happened years ago. It didn't make any sense though he wasn't that old to begin with was he?

White teeth worried at pale lips, this was something that had been concerning him for a long time. He didn't dare speak to Nephrite about it and Zoicite word be more interested in seeing him dead than helping. Kunzite would be willing to help, but Jadeite didn't want to worry the older man. A low heavy breath of air was released from his chest, making the hair upon his brow flutter. Worried blue eyes seemed to stare out at nothing until the youngest general simply disappeared in a dissolution of light, he had no idea two sets of eyes one grey and one emerald.

"What is wrong with him, Kunzite?" A deep voice asked, it was a worried question one that generally couldn't be found amount those living in the cold darkness that made up Beryl's reign.

Grey eyes studied the shadow to his left, "I am unsure, Nephrite. He has become unsettled since the arrival of the Sailor Scouts." The two of them were the oldest, Zoicite and Jadeite were the youngest and it wasn't unusual for the elder generals to meet and discuss their concerns for their younger counter parts.

Unless Jadeite came to them for help, neither of the older Generals would be able to do anything. There were certain rule that had to be followed least they come under the anger of the dark Queen. Both of the older men knew that it was unlikely that Jadeite would come to either of them for help, maybe it was because he was the youngest of them but he also had the most pride.

A sigh could be heard from across the room before a soft flicker in the dark room disappeared, Kunzite could only do the same there was little reason to stay in this chamber. While it was Jadeite's space the younger general never stayed in the dark room, much preferring to be in places with much light. Kunzite could only frown, he would have to do research it was odd that Jadeite had begun acting this way recently. This bore looking into, if Jadeite could be so changed by these scouts would it happen to the rest of them as well?

O o O w O o O

Soft clacking could be heard, Kagome and Ami were walking to school not ten minutes before they had dropped Shingo and Souta at the young Tsukino's school. It was hard to believe that it really wouldn't be to terribly long before the two of them would be Junior High student, in fact it was hard to believe that the two of them were in their second year of the Junior High school education.

"So Ami, made any more progress with Motoki?" Kagome asked, a slightly sly look on her face. Though the pink in her cheeks suggested that the girl was trying not to laugh; at Motoki's birthday party two weeks before Ami finally met Motoki's younger sister Unazuki and his girlfriend Reika. Motoki's girlfriend hadn't been pleased to find so many young girls at her boyfriends party, it was really only luck that she hadn't made a scene.

Ami wrinkled her nose at the teasing, it wasn't fair! She couldn't really tease Kagome about Mamoru anymore, the older boy teased Kagome enough to keep the dark haired girl pink-faced just from a glance. "Hmm, I think we are better friends than anything….but I still don't like Reika."

Both girls glanced at one another and couldn't help but burst into giggles, poor Motoki, none of his female friends or relatives liked his girl friend. His mother had gotten onto Reika almost the entire time they had been at the party leaving many of the guest, male and female more than a little amused at the older woman's diatribe. The walk was blessedly short both girls could only sigh before they left to go to their own classes, Ami had recently asked to transfer into Class 1 with Kagome and her sister. The school tried to bend over backwards for the genius girl, mainly because Ami would draw several smart minds with her once she attempted to enter a high school.

Waving, Kagome could only grin before going inside to sit with Naru and Izumi, Chizuru had been feeling rather bad the day before and had been hospitalized. Both Naru and Izumi could only grin up as her with amusement, "So, do you feel better now that you talked to Madame Genius?"

"Izumi!" Kagome scowled, she hated that name it was both demeaning and rude.

"Oh calm down, I'm just teasing. Besides Ami's alright, a little shy but alright." Izumi was still grinning, Ami new that Izumi had started calling her that. The shy blue haired girl didn't seem to mind, so Izumi intended to continue to call the smaller girl the Madam Genius.

"Did you hear the Midnight Zero last night?" Naru shook her head in amusement, Izumi was really silly and it was easy to see once you talked to her. Green eyes were studying the two of them with a curiosity that showed exactly how much Naru wanted to talk about the new show.

Kagome on the other hand groaned internally, "Yeah, Usagi was listening in. I could hear it in my room to. I wasn't really paying attention, we were talking about my date with Mamoru." The squeals that rent through the air was deafening, it also had the effect of causing several of their classmates to look toward them and many of the students outside poking their heads in to see what was going on.

"Tell all now!" Izumi demanded, her gray eyes were flashing in curiosity. She was one of many students that was curious about Kagome's beau. The older boy was gorgeous, and seemed well off which was always important in a future romantic conquest.

"Welll, his full name is Chiba Mamoru. I call him Mamoru. And Yes I do have permission Miss Naru!" Kagome grinned while the other to giggled helplessly. "He's a 2nd year at Moto-Azabu High School in Azuba, and he'll be turning 17 in August. "

"Arrgh, Kagome come on. That doesn't tell us anything!" Izumi new she was being aggressive but that didn't tell them anything! Four days, they had waited patiently, (well Naru had waited patiently) for this and that was all she was going to give them?

Naru snickered softly, Kagome was being mean winding Izumi up was something of a past time for Kagome and the older girl enjoyed it. "Yes, Kagome that can't be all. I want to know what the two of you did for a date, you were dressed awfully casual."

"Fine, fine, we ended up going to Ueno Park. We were going through the Zoo and there was some sort of attack. I ended up getting hurt, Mamoru took me back to his apartment and had one of his neighbors come help me." Kagome grinned, "I like his neighbor, she was really nice about everything and she teases Mamoru more than he teases me."

Naru and Izumi looked put out, before the red head finally spoke up, "That's so horrible though Kagome, I mean what a way to ruin a first date. I'm glad you're okay though, I heard a lot of people got hurt."

Kagome nodded, about to speak until Usagi came rushing in to take a seat on the other side of Naru. All three girls could only break into laughter, the blonde's hair was sticking up in all sorts of directions, and she looked completely undone. Minutes passed and a concerned murmur began to pass through the classes room, Ms. Haruna was never late! They had been in her class for the last several months and not once had the older woman been late, when the sliding door finally opened it only reviled a very tired teacher. The older auburn haired woman didn't even seem to be able to walk and it was moments later that she simply passed out in front of the class.

It was a shocking thing to see your teacher pass out, for a few minutes no one said anything before the group of them seemed to go into action. Two of the boys took off, one to get the principle, the other to the teachers longue to get on the phone. Several of the girls, Kagome and Naru included moved to check on their teacher. It was rather worrisome to see that the fall had hurt the older woman causing a bloody spot to appear on her cheek and chin, though that seemed to be the only spot to be bleed besides a few red spots along her legs.

About fifteen minutes passed before a medical team appeared in white, they were very gentle loading Ms. Haruna up before the older woman was rolled out into an awaiting ambulance. The principle a Mr. Hayao, released the lot of them before releasing the entire school. Ms. Haruna wasn't the only teacher who'd been ill and passed out in class, apparently the older man was concerned that it was something of an epidemic and didn't want the rest of the school to catch whatever it was classes would continue the next day once proper replacements could be found.

Kagome sighed, Ami had been forced to go and see her mother which left Kagome walking home with Naru and Usagi. The two of them were doing most of the talking, on some occasions this would leave Kagome feeling left out but at the moment the dark haired Tsukino could only wonder if this was yet another attack by Jadeite.

Kagome's attention was brought back to her sister, only to find Usagi apologizing to Mamoru. "Mamoru!"

It was interesting for Kagome, this was actually the first time she'd seen the older boy in his school uniform. The blazer was a dove gray, with black trousers and a white dress shirt, the older boy was also wearing glasses and the young girl had to admit he looked rather adorable wearing them. The frames where thin silver, it was also pretty obvious that the older boy had taken off his tie as the ends of it was sticking out of his brief case.

The dark haired teen held his tongue, only to turn his attention to the dark haired girl a small smile on his face. At least Kagome sounded happy to see him, "Hey. What are you doing this afternoon?"

"Nothing much," Kagome replied, a slightly amused expression on her face. Usagi had a scowl on her face a mile wide, Naru on the other hand seemed utterly delighted with the way things were turning out.

"Then let's go, sorry ladies," Mamoru grinned, a slightly mischievous look in his eyes, before hooking arms with the smaller girl and walking away. Kagome's laughter made him grin, the fact that her sister was shouting her disapproval behind them did nothing but make his grin get larger.

"Mamoru! You are horrible, sometimes I think you do this sort of thing to make Usagi go crazy." Kagome could only sigh when the answer to her comment was met with an amused smile. The nudge to his side made him smile, it was interesting for Kagome. She knew from Motoki that Mamoru was generally very withdrawn if not polite, he rarely talked to the students of his school and was known for being stoic. But when the older boy was with her, it was like he was a completely different person. While Mamoru wasn't exactly loud, he was willing to talk to her though he seemed just as content to walk together or to enjoy a quiet meal. Most of the girls her age would dislike the lack of action, but Kagome enjoyed that things slowed down because of her secondary life as Sailor Moon.

The soft look sent her way made Kagome's toes curl and her cheeks pinken, the older boy really could be sweet. "So how is Sango-san?"

Mamoru blinked in surprise, "Fine, she wants me to watch over Kenji, and Hitomi this weekend. I don't suppose I could get you to help me?"

Large blue eyes blinked up at him in surprise, and Mamoru could feel his stomach clinch. He wasn't sure why, but Kagome made him feel things that he hadn't really expected to feel for anyone. When she nodded in agreement, Mamoru only smiled before a simple quiet seemed to roll between the two of them.

Eventually Kagome frowned, "Hmm, Mamoru, why are you out of school so early? I mean my school let out because several of the teachers passed out."

"The same reason. The principle thought it might cause several more students and other teachers to get sick or pass out, the last few days people all over Tokyo have passed out, many of them are still being hospitalized." Mamoru replied, a frown on his face. It really was strange, more so than usual.

Kagome blinked, her eyes widened "Do you think it could be Jadeite?"

"Jadeite?" Mamoru frowned, it was an odd name. Most children would simply be named Jade or something similar.

"The blonde that tried to kill me on our date." Kagome replied, it was mildly amusing to watch his eyes widen in surprise before shaking his head in disbelief. She could tell by the expression on his face, that Mamoru didn't know what to think of all this.

The blunt statement, caused the older boy to pause in step. Kagome took several steps further before pausing, she hadn't thought it would surprise him so much. "That's possible."

A sort of awkward quietness once more settled over them, only for Mamoru to take her hand. The walk would eventually lead the two of them to just outside her home, it wasn't really surprising. Both of them worried over things that couldn't be helped and they were more than a bit worried about how things would work themselves, it was bleak at least to Kagome. It was probably worse for Mamoru, he'd lost his family, his memories, his dreams were changing and was practically haunted by the Silver Imperil Crystal. A shiver seemed to follow Kagome until she went to sleep that night, there was something dark about this Crystal and everything that evolved around it.

O o O w O o O

Over the next several days, hundreds of women were hospitalized almost all of them were exhausted so much so that Doctors' all around Tokyo were worried that this odd strain upon the heart might very well kill some of the patients that had gotten the strange illness. The longer they were unconscious, the weaker and weaker the patient got almost as if part of their life source was being drained away.

It was at this point that Kagome and Ami began to notice oddities, all the women had gotten a purple flowering brooch from the Midnight Zero love show. According, to FM they didn't have a show called Midnight Zero, which was how they had ended up in front of the FM Station house with mildly put out looks on their faces. Luna had come along apparently very pleased that they were figuring these things out, but now they were sort of stuck.

"Kagome, do you still have that pen that you got out of the machine at the arcade?" Luna asked, her voice was a bit on the smug side and it was all Kagome could do to roll her eyes. Luna was so silly, but Kagome loved the young cat just the same.

"Yes, I do…." Kagome nodded, that she did indeed still have the pen. But the pen had gone under something of a transformation, it was no longer in shades of blue and instead it had become a copper hue, outline in gold. It really was very pretty and was dull enough looking that nobody though anything about, the jewel at the end of the pen had changed to a soft pinkish orange color.

" Well it's called a Disguise Pen. Much like your brooch and Ami's pen allow you to transform into super heroines, this particular pen allows you to change into different people. Well, go on…it will change the both of you!" Luna replied.

Kagome frowned, something about the energy of the peen felt different more specifically it felt hers. The brooch that she wore on occasion felt like it was borrowed and not quite hers, "Solar Power! Change us into policewomen!"

Bright flashes of light seemed to spark around them, before solid standard lace up shoes replaced, tennis shoes, skirts were replaced by dark navy blue. A slightly lighter blue button down shirt, beneath a thin water proof jacket also of navy blue, a navy blue tie, as well as a sergeant's hat, this also made them look to be mid to late twenties in age. Kagome's hair was now chin length and straight, while Ami had a proper pixi style haircut. The two girls could only blink in surprise, before they easily made their way past the patrol man and into the building.

Upon finding the correct booth, both girls went wide eyed at the side before them Jadeite was inside many of the men who were outside were unconscious or in a deep almost coma like sleep. Instead of saying anything, the two girls quickly transformed this was something they had been working on. Silent transformations without vocally calling out the transformation, they had both reasoned that intent was just as important if not more so than the words used.

Nodding to Sailor Mercury, Sailor Moon slowly eased open the door being careful not to make too much noise. Mist quickly began to fill up the booth, covering the men the monsters and Jadeite. The misty attack that Mercury used unfortunately for the enemy seemed to do quite a bit of harm to the electronics, and while the two of them felt guilty over the damage it wasn't the time.

Sailor Moon could only whisper, "Moon Tiara Stardust." The spinning tiara flew through the room, covering everyone except Jadeite who was only partially covered in the dust. Amazingly the dust had begun to show several different side effects, it removed the compulsions that the youma place on people, but it also seemed to cause paralysis to the monster in question.

Sharing a grin with her partner, Sailor Moon used the Boomerang attack to destroy the frozen monster. Once they were certain things were back into proper order, the two of them quickly snuck out. Luna looked mildly amused by their sneakiness but didn't begrudge them the easily one battle, if anything she seemed rather proud that they were beginning to plan things out in a much better manner. Needless to say, that night after everything was said and done they both agreed that they needed more help.

O o O w O o O

Jadeite shivered, the young blonde had never noticed the chill that covered his rooms in the Dark Kingdom. He never noticed his skin was beginning to warm and color seemed to fill his cheeks. That dust had done something to him, it was making him remember things. More than before…the memories made him ache, had he really always been part of the Dark Kingdom?

One memory in particular made him cringe, and it caused him to feel things that he didn't understand. It was obviously him, but he had been much young perhaps seven or eight, he was sitting on the bank during a very warm summer, cicada's and crickets were singing the occasion splash and yell of a frog broke the continual sound. And older man with soft yellow blonde hair, had put a worm on a hook before helping him throw it into the water, a ripple around the entrance simply caused him to giggle. Sharp tugging on the line, had his younger self squealing in delight before running up to a pretty woman with fiery red hair and blue eyes almost the exact shade of his own. A medium sized bream was resting on his line, that younger self had such a bright happy smile. It wasn't something that Jadeite could acquaint with the Dark Kingdom, which was cold and seemingly empty of emotions besides anger and a need or power.

The second memory terrified the young general, these memories seemed to be of a far distant time. It was almost as if he was reliving the past, a princess of the sun, a princess of the moon, and the prince of the earth. But it always ended badly, a broken body, a broken heart and a forced arrangement. It was very strange now, the faces were blurry but Jadeite felt that he should know them felt that he was once part of them and that there had been very few moments of happiness. Another shiver ran across his skin, the chill making him uncomfortable with worry a sigh slipped through his lips before he found himself sprawled out across the large bed that until that point he'd never felt the need to use. Pulling up chocolate covered sheets, the young man hid himself there. Jadeite just needed to think, he needed to ponder these images that were flashing through his mind and what exactly did they mean to him now.

*****As a note to those who are wondering, I am using the Japanese School system.

High School is 1-3 or Freshman/Sophomore, Junior, Senior, or grades 10-12

Junior High School is 1-3, or Freshman/Sophomore, Junior, Senior, or 7-9

Primary School is 1-6 which would be Elementary or Middle school depending where you are, which is 1-6

Another thing to note, is that the school year in Japan starts in April. It is on a trimester time line, as such school ends sometime in March.

Students go to school on Saturday's generally half the day, while Sunday's are generally free..

As such, Ami, Usagi and Kagome are all 8th years or in their second year of JH.

Shingo and Souta are in 5th and 3rd years of Primary/Elementary school.

Also Mamoru is in his senior or 3rd year of High School!

What do you lot want me to do with Andrew/Motoki?
