The Definition of Love
Chapter 3:
"Thanks for meeting us on such short notice girls." said everyone's favorite cat, Luna. Ami nodded at her.
"So this is about Naru right? Or more specifically her new companion." she stated.
"Yes that is correct. Mako and I tried our best to get close to her but to no avail. I think Naru has an idea of who this mysterious bird truly is and is trying her best to keep the secret hidden." Artemis said in thought.
"A part of me is glad that she's feeling better but at the same time… that bird just gives me a weird feeling." Usagi pitched in. The hotheaded Rei snickered a bit.
"Well whadoya know, bunhead here doesn't seem so dense after all."
"What did you just say?! Why don't you come and say it to my face?" Makoto immediately came between them.
"Guys, now is really not the time. Naru could be in danger for all we know. We have to get close to her and investigate somehow, so pull it together!" Both girls quieted almost instantly at that. Luna sighed but gave a silent "thank you" to the girl known as Sailor Jupiter.
"Naru being in danger is a strong possibility but we don't have solid evidence. Let's not let our assumptions get carried away." All of the guardians nodded in agreement. Luna then turned to Sailor Moon.
"Usagi do you still have that drawing from a few days ago?" Said girl dug in her pocket until she pulled out a folded up piece of paper.
"Sure it's right here!" The rest of the girls inspected the picture.
"It looks like a star." said Ami, quickly pulling out her portable computer.
"You're absolutely right Ami. This is actually a nine sided star. This symbol is also on Helios's forehead."
"Which means that he is an advisor just like you and Artemis.." Ami said, putting together the pieces for everyone.
"Luna didn't you also say that you recognized it from somewhere?" said Usagi. The snow colored cat inhaled sharply.
"Could it be..?" he said, looking at Luna worriedly.
"Yes...I had no idea that any of them would be reincarnated. At least not to this time period.."
"Who is "them" Luna?" Rei asked, not liking the suspense.
"..."
"Well?"
"... The Stellar Guardians."

"Mom, I'm home!" The red headed teen entered the house, making sure to leave her shoes at the door. She was about to call out for her mother again when she noticed a small note on the coffee table.
Dear Naru,
I was invited to attend a Jewel-Con with an old colleague of mine in the next town over. I should be back by tomorrow afternoon. There's dinner in the fridge and money on your nightstand to get breakfast on your way to school tomorrow. Love you sweetheart!
3 Mom
"Oh so she's out of town for a bit huh?" she said quietly as she slowly headed up to her room. Once she stepped in, she took a minute to actually observed what she's done to it over the years. Tons and tons of boy band posters covered her cream colored walls. Most of these artists she never even heard of but decided to get since all the other kids were doing it. And at the time she fawned over the rockstar type.
But they'll never be as good as him…
"You're thinking about him again, aren't you?" Her head jerked in the direction of the voice to see her friend resting comfortably on her desk.
"Oh hey Helios. Wait how'd you know that?" He made a motion like he was shrugging his shoulders.
"You're face says it all, Naru. But do me a favor?" The girl nodded, blushing slightly.
"Could you check out my wing? I think it's time for some exercise." Naru smiled and then chuckled slightly at how eager he was to get better.
"Well, let's take a look shall we?" She walked over towards him and sat in her rolling chair. She carefully undid his wrapping and caressed his wing gently, testing if he would feel any pain. He didn't seem to feel hurt at all and she smile again at that.
"I think you're completely healed Helios!" Said bird took an experimental flight. Once he was satisfied with the result he came back down and bowed, respectfully.
"Thank you so much for taking care of me, Naru. Now I shall give you your well deserved gift." The girl blinked in surprise.
"A gift… for me?" Before she could ask what kind of gift, the bird gracefully flew in a circle around her neck. A single orbit caused a gold ring to appear, with the light dying down to reveal a shiny gold star hanging from a skinny black choker necklace. Nimble fingers immediately caressed the accessory, ending with the girl standing completely to look in a mirror.
"Oh my goodness, it's gorgeous Helios. What does it do? Other than make me look cute of course." said the girl, already striking poses in her body mirror. The bird then flew to rest on her shoulder.
"That there is a pendant that will allow you to gain the physical properties of a Stellar Guardian." Naru had finally stopped posing long enough to inspect the necklace further.
"Helios… this pendant looks just like the mark on your forehead." He nodded.
"Good observation. We both wear the nine-pointed star, the symbol of the Stellar Guardian known as Sol. Or in today's society, known as the Sun."
"Ohhh. Um can we go over what a Stellar Guardian is again? I sorta forgot." she asked, scratching her head awkwardly. Her friend sighed heavily but answered her question.
"A Stellar Guardian is much similar to the Sailor Guardians. But they're much more ancient. Their power originates from stars instead of planets. Does that make sense?" Naru nodded, eyes attentive.
"So what you mean is, I can transform like the girls who turn into the Sailors?"
"In a way yes. But you don't exactly get a costume. Nor do you use any magic." Naru went silent for a moment.
"I don't get any magic?! How am I supposed to fight bad guys or whatever without magic?!" Helios held up a wing to silence her.
"As I said before, they're powers are ancient. More ancient than magic. These guardians focused more on their physical, as well as mental strength, rather than become magicians."
"Hmmm. How come you know all of this, Helios? How did you even get here? OMG can more animals talk where you're from?!" she asked, getting excited out of nowhere. The bird resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
"As far as I'm concerned, this isn't my world or birthplace. Everything else is somewhat a blur. But something in my mind is telling me to discover the other Stellar Guardians." Naru collected her composure.
"So there are other guardians too? How many are there in total?" Helios' eyes brightened at the sight of the girl regaining focus.
"Including yourself, there are five in total. These five are the most powerful stars in existence."
"Oh wow… that's amazing." She was about to ask another question when she heard her friend yawn.
"I think it's time you got some rest. And thank you so much for the gift, Helios." she said scooping him up and placing him on his bed on her shelf. She turned on her little lamp and sat at her desk once again. She began to write.
Dear diary,
Okay so apparently I'm some sort of Stellar Guardian and I can fight evil. Wait! If I fight evil then does that mean I would fight that organization HE was in? Who knows…
Sigh maybe this new responsibility will help take my mind off of him. Oh Nephrite… if I had known falling in love would have hurt this much, I would have never done it in the first place.
On that note, the girl turned off her lamp and settled into bed. It wasn't long before her pillow was stained with tears yet again from her seemingly endless nightmare.

Dark… It's dark everywhere.
Where am I? What is this place?
Not heaven nor hell…
I'm not alive. And I'm certainly not dead either.
If I were truly dead, I would not have the means to create thoughts.
Are these even thoughts at all?
Wait are those… Voices?
Why did you save that sad excuse for a general Queen Beryl?! I thought you wanted me to get rid of those pathetic Sailor Guardians?
A… general? Are they talking about me?
Silence, Zoisite! He may have committed a taboo but at the same time he collected a great amount of energy for our Great Ruler. He will merely be reduced to a lowly servant from now on.
Taboo… I wonder… could it have something to do with this girl I keep seeing in my mind?
Such beautiful red hair…
Bright blue eyes.. Dazzling smile.
Yes… I believe she is the reason I am in the dark.
Because she's as pure as light...
