"Show us who Anika's former lifeform was!" Kenji called out in the darkness, watching as the fog like substance drifted down and unto ground before morphing into a figure of a dark haired figure with red eyes.
"Fuck." Kenji stated, running a hand through his long hair as he glanced over at Tsuki who looked even angrier than before.
"Things change in each reincarnation….Kūdō show me who Kenji's previous life was!" the warrior of Eclipse barked out, only to see something she didn't expect as a vaguely familiar figure appeared in the mist; the figure of a foot soldier who had worked in the moon kingdom.
"Well….At least I'm an upgrade." Kenji joked before putting a hand on Tsuki's shoulder before asking
"You gonna be okay?"
Tsuki ignored him as she called out "How many reincarnates of the dark moon clan still have their powers!?"
The images of herself, a tall man with spiky black hair and red eyes and the young teen that Taka had carried in earlier stood before her.
"At least it's only two….If Karunā can get the power stones then we can easily beat them." She stated, earning questioning look.
"You're going to let her?" Kenji asked
"What choice do we have? We need those Ten orbs….only the silver crystal can destroy them so they can't be abused. Besides….It'll be good for her."
Eclipse answered with a sigh before adding "I think it would be easier for her to go back to the silver Millennia itself...I'll send a note to the former queen Serenity of the moon."
Meanwhile Karunā sat with the others as they waited for Ami to come with the information about the child that had appeared for help.
"Pluto-Sama….what time period will I go to?" Karunā asked softly, earning a sigh.
"I think that you should go to the time where we were in school….It'd be easier since all the crystals are located in a shrine during that time." Mars stated, earning a surprised look.
"That would probably be a good idea." King Endymion retorted before adding "I think it would do you good….after all it seemed to help all of us when our last time traveler crashed in on us."
This confused Karunā though she was still timid enough not to ask.
"Just do our past selves a favor and don't give us too big of a problem." Jupiter chuckled, leaning back and putting her arms behind her head.
"Just to warn you…I was an ass growing up." Yaten stated, earning a look from Uranus.
"Were? You're still an ass! Not as big of one or as big as one as Seiya."
Everyone just chuckled at the two's exchange and shook their heads at the comments.
"Are they always like this?" Karunā asked the king who chuckled
"Pretty much." He answered with a grin.
"They were worse when Tsuki and Yaten first started dating." Serenity retorted, just as Kenji and Tsuki made their way over to the waiting area.
"Any info on the girl?" she asked as she looked over at the teenager, who was still laughing.
"None yet." Setsuna answered as the two took a seat near them.
"Eclipse, Pluto suggested that I go back in time to when you guys were still in school." Karunā stated after a while earning a surprised look from Tsuki.
"Actually I was going to suggest that we send her to the silver millennia. That way she can train without too much of a distraction for a week and get the crystals easily since the crystals are located in the scepters of each planet's rulers."
"How about we give her a time key and let her chose? Either way both will be easy." Daichi retorted earning a nod from Setsuna
"Either way it won't be hard to get the crystals. Besides either way I think this will be good for her." Setsuna added, earning a sigh from the shadow senshi.
"Fine….Whatever she chooses...just be safe….that is all I ask." The shadow senshi stated, earning a grin from the young girl.
"Don't worry Sensei….I'll be careful." She stated, feeling a bit of pride in herself as she recognized the woman's acceptance.
"Whatever time you choose be careful, don't take anything personally and try not to get too pissed off at anyone." Haruka stated, snickering a bit as she casted a look at Yaten and Tsuki who both glared at her.
"I wasn't that bad!" Yaten exclaimed, earning a laugh from everyone.
"Yes you were….You and Tsuki both were." Rei retorted through her laughter.
Karunā worried that they were going to fight however much to her surprise Tsuki only stuck her tongue out at the older woman.
"Oh shut up sailor Mars." She laughed, her eyes alight with a playful light that Karunā had only saw once past the guards that she seemed to have up.
However before anyone else could say anything the doors opened and Ami stood there, a solemn on her face.
"She's awake….but is demanding to speak with the reincarnation of the traitor Shoku." She announced. Causing Tsuki to sigh and stand up, her cape bellowing out behind her.
"Lead the way Princess Mercury."
Everyone stiffened at the formal title, exchanging looks as the two vanished behind the doors.
"For a minute it was like I was looking at an older Shoku….Her aura changed." Setsuna stated, earning a sigh from Daichi.
Tsuki followed her friend down the long white hallway to a room that had a closed door.
"I warn you…she's terrified of you….the fact of you. Just like Riku." The doctor stated, earning a sigh.
"What the fuck am I? A living bogyman?" Tsuki muttered, earning a sympathetic smile.
"Actually….evidently."
Tsuki groaned aloud before opening the door, instantly flinching as she saw the young girl laying on the bed with bandages decorating her body.
"You wished to speak with me?" she asked softly, noticing the girls red eyes widen slightly in fear.
"I….if I'm not being a bother." She muttered, glancing down nervously.
"You're not" the warrior answered wincing slightly as she was reminded about the past before adding "My name is Tsuki by the way."
The young girl looked up then, being caught off guard
"I'm Akemi Honoo."
You could hear a pin drop as the nightmare princess's breath caught in her throat.
"Why are you here?" she questioned softly, earning a timid look.
"what choice did I have? Father wouldn't have me….after all….I was female, it was my job to pass along the Kurai abilities." The girl choked out, only to feel a hand engulf her shoulder.
"Don't worry….I'll be damned if he even gets as far as the gate."
Tsuki knew what the big deal was, the powers of the star seeds were the most unusual and would pass from mother to child besides from father to child. She just really hoped that her gut feeling was wrong or she might just lose control again.
"Maybe you should go tell the others what's going on." Ami suggested, seeing the faint traces of a blue light coming from Tsuki's hand, however by that time it was too late and Tsuki stood there wincing as she absorbed every memory that the young girl had.
Ami stood there in complete surprise as the scar covered figure opened her eyes, revealing a crimson gaze as a dark aura lashed around her.
"That sick bastard….What the fuck is the Kurai clan's fucking problem?!"
The princess of mercury didn't know what Tsuki had saw but the concern and anger that mixed in the red gaze of the younger woman was enough to make her glad that the foul mouth was the only thing she seemed to have inherited from the ancient clan.
"Excuse me….I need to go help Karunā prepare for her trip. I will be back shortly to speak with the girl alone." Eclipse stated before leaving the room in a rush.
"Did I do something to make her angry?" Akemi whimpered, shrinking back in the covers though the doctor only shook her head.
'No, you see Eclipse has the ability to see into people's mind…..Whatever she saw in yours set her off." Ami answered with a sigh as she sat down beside of the red eyed girl.
"Do you think she'll hate me?"
The girl's question broke Ami's heart, having heard the same words many times before.
"No, of course not. Whatever she saw she'll understand, believe me…if she can forgive Kenji and see pass all he put her through she can see the good in anyone."
