Haruka sat watching as Tsuki showed the girl's how to weave flowers into crowns and necklaces, wondering how and when Tsuki had even learned how to do that.
"Is it just me or is she weirder than usual?" Rei asked, earning a sigh from Haruka.
"I think the only time she's not is when she's training with Karunā or with the kids." The blonde retorted, earning a sigh.
"Maybe you should talk to her Rei. You're the only one that she won't argue with or completely blow off." Setsuna stated, her eyes softening as she watched parapara braid flowers into the shadow senshi's hair.
"I will. But you have to say she's awfully cute with them." Rei chuckled, watching as Vesves jumped onto her back.
"Yet she's afraid to hold Usagi." Queen serenity stated, earning amused look.
"Well she's never been around babies before." Yaten retorted before adding "So…I guess King Endymion stayed behind to watch the squirt."
The young queen nodded.
Meanwhile Tsuki was wrestling with Vesves and Junjun, letting the two smaller girl's easily pin her to the ground as Hotaru and the others continued to pick flowers.
"I'll get you for this." She laughed, though she barely fought against them.
"Sure you will old hag!" Junjun jeered, straddling her mother's stomach in order to hold her down.
Tsuki glared lightly, her eyes suddenly flashing red as she moved fast as lightening and suddenly had both of her attackers in her arms.
"Say what?" she teased, smirking in a very Uraian way.
Both children laughed then, watching as the crimson left Tsuki's eyes.
"Momma! Let's play tag!" Parapara called, earning a sigh from the shadow senshi.
"Okay…But I warn you…I'm part Uraian and we are known for our speed!" she cautioned playfully, unaware of the smirk that came over her sisters' face.
"That's the first time she has ever referred to herself as a part of my bloodline. Usually she only brings up the Kurai clan." Haruka stated, earning a shocked look from Setsuna.
"Wait…She found out her full history? Haruka…That's what drove Shoku to be so reckless! The crystal shard she kept inside her should was supposed to suppress the memories!" Setsuna stated, concern suddenly filling her voice.
"She can handle it. She and I spoke about it…She was a bit miffed that no one told her but she understood why. After all….no one wants to know they battled their own family in a past life and killed her own brother." A new voice suddenly spoke, startling everyone.
"Dad! What the heck are you doing here? I thought you said you couldn't come?" Haruka exclaimed from where she was seated on a rock.
"Danny and Artemis has taken over my shift so I could join you." Daichi replied.
An awkward silence fell over them as they watched Tsuki engage in a mock spar with all five of the little girls.
"That's why she's so distant….and why she is acting like she can't relax." Yaten stated with a sigh as she glanced over at the laughing senshi of darkness.
"She's probably afraid she'll hurt those kids." Serenity stated, earning a sigh from Setsuna.
"She won't…and I don't need future sight to tell you that!"
Karunā heard this and spoke up,
"She didn't even hurt me after I attacked her. She isn't violent."
Setsuna only sighed at this
"Neither was she then either…That battle took a huge toll."
Yaten flinched at this as a muddled memory resurfaced.
"I remember her being distant….flinching away from my touch, screaming in middle of the night."
She revealed with a sigh before adding "But how can I help her now when I couldn't have then?"
Daichi sighed and put a hand on his daughter in law's shoulder.
"By being there for her…She is terrified of becoming a monster...let her know that she won't ever be."
The others—who were helping set up camp—couldn't help but eaves drop on the conversation though it made them wonder exactly what had happened to Tsuki in the past of the silver millennia.
