Mending Loneliness

Chapter Six – Sunday 12:00 p.m.
Four men arrived at the same time at the main gate. One with silver hair, one with brown and two with varying shades of blond. They stood and stared at each other for a moment then burst into laughter and clasped arms in the way of warriors and longtime friends.
"I thought that I'd gone insane." Admitted Nephrite.
Zoicite nodded. "So did I."
"Serenity, or Usagi as she is known now, is my cousin, so I went crazy a long time ago." Said Kunzite dryly.
"Her name is Usagi now? My name is Jun. Jun Yamamoto." Said Jadeite.
"Kazuya Tsukino."
"Nobuyuki Takaki."
"Soichiro Sakurazuka." Zoicite looked around. "So, where should we start looking?"
"Serenity said to follow our hearts." Said Nephrite. "So I guess we should start walking."
"We've all seen the Senshi on TV but I've never seen Serenity with them." Said Jadeite.
"Yeah. Where did this Sailor Moon come from? I don't remember her." Zoicite frowned thoughtfully.
Kunzite laughed. "We don't remember her because Sailor Moon didn't exist back in the Silver Millennium. Don't you remember?"
Nephrite snapped his fingers together. "That's right, Serenity was supposed to be Sailor Moon but because there had been peace for so long and Serenity didn't like fighting, the Queen agreed that she didn't have to become Sailor Moon. So Venus became the leader of the Senshi."
"And now I know why Usagi came to me yesterday asking about karate lessons." Said Kunizte.
Jadeite looked at him. "Well, you have to admit that Sailor Moon does need some help."
Kunzite stopped, shock written across his face. "That's why she's so bad at it now. She never learned to fight in the first place. The other Senshi are relying on what they were taught in the past but Sailor Moon doesn't even have that to fall back on!"
Nephrite nodded. "And the other Senshi don't know how to train her because they were still learning themselves!"
"Remember what our Weaponsmaster used to say? 'It's not the best fighter you have to fear, it's the worst because you can't predict what he's going to do.' Her unpredictability works when she's fighting a monster because it can't predict what she's going to do." Zoicite nodded as he said it.
Jadeite ran a hand through his hair. "But it works against the other Senshi because they can't predict where Sailor Moon is going to be at any given moment. So that's why they have problems."
Kunzite began walking again. "We can help them with that. I know we can."
As the men walked through the park, they discussed how they were going to help the Senshi learn to work together.
"Of course, all this is purely theoretical." Said Zoicite.
"What do you mean?" asked Jadeite.
"He means that if the Senshi take one look at us and kill us, it's not going to matter." Said Nephrite. "Where the hell are those two anyway?"
"They're up there." Kunzite pointed towards a tree on a small hill. "Oh, HELL no!" He transformed into his uniform, a sword appeared in his hand and he began striding up the hill.
The others had seen what Kunzite had seen and transformed as well. "We better stop him." Said Nephrite, running to catch up with their leader.
"Oh this is going to be fun!" said Jadeite.
The two youngest Shitennou grinned at each other and ran after their older brothers.
