A/N: Its high time I got back into writing. So, I decided to work on a story that I started to write, now that I am inspired. The chapter may be a little rough, but it's a turning point in the story. So hang tight, and I will hopefully have it going again.

Chapter 5

Kayla had run to the airport, and made the three-day flight to Japan, birthplace of her life as she knew it. No, She hadn't been born here, but Japan is where she discovered her life as a senshi, where she'd met her friends, and family, and where her life had started. She hadn't enjoyed the flight, her body filled with many fears. She didn't know what she'd uncover, or if this had been worth it. But, yet, she had too do this.

Images of the rangers who'd saved her time and time again, flashed in her mind causing crystal-like tears to form at the edge of her sightless brown orbs. As the memories replayed, those tears grew before they started to flow from her eyes like two salty rivers. As doubt of what she had done added to the swell of emotion, those rivers grew in speed instantly soaking her shirt and skin.

The jolt of the plane's wheels touching ground jarred Kayla from her inner turmoil causing her to quickly recompose herself before exiting. As always, she allowed the other passengers to depart before making the slightest attempt to stand from her seat, not that she felt she could. The flight had caused her legs to freeze up on her, making moving next to impossible. Had she not delt with this before, then it would have been impossible to get up from her seat without assistance. However, this hadn't been the first time this had happened and Kayla expertly examined the problem before coming up with a reasonable solution. Slowly and with much effort on her part, the brown-haired young woman managed to exit and plant herself into her waiting wheelchair. Never in her life had she'd been so glad to see it.

:Not long to go now.: Kayla thought to herself gathering what few belongings she had with her. She didn't know what she would expect to find, but even if she wanted to, there would be no turning back, not now. She'd come to far to quit, to give up, without knowing anything. Her fears grew, her blood preasure raising with each pounding beat of her heart. She could feel her stomach muscles constricting in an attempt to unload their contents, but she'd managed yet again to suppress the urge.

With night falling fast, Kayla had to get into a safe place to sleep. Night life in Japan wasn't any better then the day life, but in retro respect, twice as dangerous. What vision that remained, would vanish as soon as the night took over the day. The streetlamps, would not provide much of an aid, and the cold night air would only highten the risk of getting a cold. Kayla could not afford to get sick, not after everything she'd done.

Just as Kayla felt like giving into sleep, the light from a near by hotel came into view, as if calling to her over-worked body. Mustering what little strength she had in her, she had managed to reach it before she nearly fainted from lack of sleep.

Back In New Tech City, home of the S.P.D. squad, the rangers had been on edge. Ever since Kayla had left, Grum hadn't let them get an ounce of sleep. He had been ruthless in his assault of the city, easly waring down its own line of defance. Each battle had been harder then the last, and each time, the rangers took even a bigger beating.

In the command center, their leader and commander had grown concerned. He hated putting the rangers out on such life-risking missions, but he had no other choice. The robots that Grum had been sending appeared to be stronger and more difficult to defeat, most still roaming the city. In fact, commander crugar had begun to wonder if some of those monsters, were even robots at all. He wouldn't be surprised to find out the truth though the only person who appeared to have the slightest clue had all but vanished on a lone mission.

In her spare time, Cat had been searching for the young moon princess, but nothing came up. Each attempt led to the exact same dead ends. Cat started to get discouraged, fearing they would never find her. She doubted the rangers would last much longer if she didn't keep trying.

The brightness of the sun streaming through the partly open window blinded the slumbering figure in the bed forcing her to crack open tired-looking sightless brown orbs. She turned over, trying to protect her eyes from the light but found each attempt only making her perdicument worse. Grumbbling in frustration, a very tired, but well-rested Kayla forced herself out from under the mound of blankets that had protected her from the chilled night air What she wouldn't give for the summer months to hit Japanese soil.

She limped her way to the bathroom and turned on some hot water, in hopes of assisting her into waking. Normally, Tsukino Kayla, lothed the idea of waking before sunrise, even later during the hot summer months, but she couldn't put off what she'd come here for. After all it was the reason for her travels, and the desire to know squashed the fear of finding out, only strengthen her resolve to put an end to the anguish plaguing her. It would be one less painful thing to deal with, the rest, however were unavoidable. Yet she couldn't help but feel her apprehension grow a bit as she washed her body to loosen her muscles. She wanted to feel as relaxed as possible before embarking on her solo mission.

As she stood exiting the tub and drying her dripping skin, she had started to regret her decision to ask the rangers she'd met to stay behind. She done it knowing she couldn't ask them to leave their city defenseless, though had she'd stopped to consider everything she might not have left. Had she known what she left behind, she would've acknowledged the fact, that leaving would have put the planet in grater danger. A sigh escaped her parched lips, as the conquicenances of her actions finally caught up to her.

"I will resolve my issues and differences, when I return," Kayla said aloud, to no one in particular. Again she needed to hear the words to come from her own lips, as if confirming her decisions. She had to know for herself that even alone she could do something right. "I will not fail you minna-san…" she whispered checking out of the motel and heading down the street twards the last known address of the Tsukino family, well, the only Tsukino family that she knew of. Until recently, she didn't think anyone else had that particular last name. Then as she grew, she learned it was popular in japan. This fact, had been the start of a whole other life, one she'd soon rather forget at the moment.

She placed one hand on her chest, feeling the steady beat of her heart. She had made it, but now, would she have the courage to ring the bell? Slowly she removed her hand from her cheast, lifting it slowly to depress the buzzer to alert anyone someone waited outside their door. With shaking hands, she depressed it, the ring resounding in her ears sounding much like an unwanted echo.

"Yes, can I help you…?" came the voice of a young woman. From the sound of her voice, she sounded like she could be close to Kayla in age. "Can I help with you…?" she repeated when Kayla hadn't replied to her.

"Yes…" Kayla finally replied broken from her trance. "I'm looking for someone by the name Tsukino, Usagi, she used to live here."

"I don't know anyone by that name, I'm sorry demo, I can't help you.. though that last name does ring a bell." The young woman replied looking Kayla over as if trying to picture her. "Though, you do look like someone I used to know…" she finished.

"What is your name then?" Kayla asked suddenly interested by this woman's comment.

"Tsukino, Rina…. And if I recall, you're Kayla one of the few remaining senshi."

"Wait, how did you—" Kayla began to say taken aback by Rina's sudden comment. But, when the girl reached for a pendant that hung around her neck, and placed it in Kayla's hands, the question had been answered before she could even ask it. "This pendant enables me to transform into a sailor senshi, as yours allows you to do the same." Came Rina's reply.

Kayla put her hands to her head as if holding it in pain. The words Rina had spoken had caused something to be triggered in her brain A memory of her life on the moon flashed in her head, and she didn't even relize that Rina was trying to talk Kayla out of her trance. Soon the pain subsided, and Kayla removed her hands only to meet the worried gaze of Rina. "We're the only ones left, what happened to the others?" Kayla forced herself to ask.

Rina ushered Kayla inside and shut the door behind her. She locked it and slipped off her shoes before opening her mouth to speak again, "its not safe to talk about it in open public." Rina said quickly and looked down at her now house-shoed feet. "I bet you're wondering what happened to the other senshi." She started knowing what Kayla asked would come up. Best to get it out in the open now, than later.

"Hai… That I do, but first, is…. Usagi… alive?" Kayla had to know, it had been eating at her since her arrival on earth and now she had a chance to find out.

"Yes, she is, she married a couple of years ago. Makoto and everyone attended, such an elegant wedding." Rina said, slightly angered about having to repeat those events. In her mind, Mamaru didn't deserve her, and they shouldn't have gotten married, but Rina couldn't continue to think that way. Usagi seemed happy and doing well, Kayla had shown up at her doorstep, and she refused to go down it. She had a second chance and didn't want to lose it now. She spent the next hour going over every detail, from when Usagi had lost it, to the return of Mio, and up trough the wedding, being sure to leave her personal feelings out.

Kayla listened intently as Rina gave her the details of the past few years. It seemed a lot longer, but in reality, it hadn't been all that long. Or had it. Time had seemed to have slipped past her, something she'd grown quite used too over the years. Though she could take comfort in the knolege that her little sister, was in fact alive, and appeared to be happy. Though why couldn't she remember this woman called Rina?

"Are you going to be alright." Entered her ears, once again snapping her back into reality.

"I should be alright, I guess all of this information is taking a larger tole on me than I anticipated." Kayla forced the reply along with her world-famous smile.

Somehow Rina knew that Kayla had to have been hiding something, but chose not to press the issue. A sick feeling something was wrong kept eating at her, filling the pit of her stomach with dread. "You know there is a reason only a slect few of us matained our powers, I fear they will be required again." Rina stated moving off onto the other subject Kayla had been attempting to avoid.

"Hai…I know… and in all truth I haven't been a very good senshi… though…" Kayla openly admitted catching the other girl off guard once again. "When I first arrived on earth, I encountered a youma, and I've been feeling more and more crop up. Though they don't appear to be in Japan, which I find rather strange."

"You know, between the two of us—"

"iie…. I can't, no I won't… not unless I have too… Usagi-chan's finally happy, its our job to keep it that way…" Kayla cut rina off knowing what she wanted to say.

"Okay, you win I won't press the issue. However, if this becomes more than we can handle, then we'll have to…" Rina replied not wanting to press Kayla. She let a small smile cross her lips as she hugged her friend, even though Kayla still couldn't seem to remember much of anything.

"Hey listen, I have to be getting back to where I first landed on earth, I have a feeling that they may need my help." Kayla admitted, knowing now she could face the rangers with a somewhat clearer head.

Rina nodded in understanding as she watched Kayla get ready to leave. "Call me if you get in over your head." She pleated, to which Kayla nodded.

"I will, now I must be off." She said and transformed. Not wanting to take an airplane back. Plus the feeling in her gut told her that she didn't have that luxury. Her eyes closed as a glow covered her being, the same translusant wings appeared once more, giving Kayla the ability to fly. Slowly she lifted from the ground, her wings glowing more and more with every flap.

Rina could only watch as Kayla soon vanished from sight becoming nothing more then a golden beam in the otherwise cloudless sky above.
