"Thanks for letting me tag along." Karunā stated, earning a slight grin.
"No problem. Fair is fair, the younger girls got to go." Tsuki retorted, shifting two of the girl's in her arms while Yaten carried the other two.
"Here, I'll take them up to bed. You and Princess Uranus had plans afterward." Karunā stated, earning a shocked look.
"Okay…thanks." Tsuki replied before setting off toward the outer's quarters.
Knocking on the large door, the shadow senshi leaned against the wall, only to be met by a familiar garnet gaze as the door creaked open.
"Long time no see." The voice called, causing a smile to come over Tsuki's face.
"Kaasan!" She called, hugging the oldest senshi.
"Lest you ditched the honorifics." The time guardian chuckled, returning the hug.
Meanwhile in another room of the castle Karunā sat on the plush couch, lightly stroking Shin's fur.
"You hungry? Sailor Pluto is back from the time gates and who knows how long Tsuki will be at her sister's." Yaten asked, earning a surprised look.
"Uh no thanks." Karunā replied, taking the gloves off only long enough to apply the lotion that Mercury had prescribed.
"Okay…there's food in the fridge." Yaten replied.
"Auntie!"
Tsuki had no more walked through the door than she almost fell over due to being tackled by the familiar, frail figure.
"Oof…take it easy firefly. It's good to see you too." The soldier of darkness chuckled, picking her niece up.
"She's been wanting to see you ever since you got back…but she's been under the weather." Michiru stated, walking over to her.
"So I heard. How have you been?" Tsuki asked, using her free arm to hug the elegant woman who had become like another sister to her.
"I've been fine. Dealing with Haruka and Menyani's childish rivalries." The aqua haired princess replied, earning a laugh.
Karunā awoke with a start, feeling something cold and metallic fall onto her face.
"What the holy hell is this?" She exclaimed, only to earn a laugh.
"You already know you're a sailor guardian…that's why you control fire. Now repeat after me; Solar power make-up!"
Karunā gasped as she noticed what was talking however she nodded and done so.
Suddenly she found herself wearing a gold and red fuku.
"You're sailor sun." Shin stated matter-a-factly, earning a shocked look.
"But the sun brings life….I couldn't even manipulate the fires to save my family!" Karunā replied, earning a sigh.
"which is why you need to stay here with Eclipse. She knows that kind of pain."
