"Usagi! Kumi!" Chibi-Earth called. The Sailor Guardians and I approached the trio.

"Her wound is healing." Chibi-Moon said. The girl pulled her hand away to reveal that indeed, Chibi-Earth's wound was gone. The unknown girl took out a handkerchief and wrapped it around Chibi-Earth's arm.

"Creepy, right?" The Mugen girl said softly. "It's just something I can do, ever since I was a little girl. Now go, you're not supposed to be here, especially this late. The security guards are very strict." She turned and started to walk away.

"Wait!" Chibi-Earth cried.

"Do you think you could tell us your name?" Chibi-Moon asked. The girl turned around with a soft smile.

"It's Hotaru Tomoe." The short-haired girl responded. Hotaru then turned back to the school and continued to walk inside.

"Hotaru…" Chibi-Earth trailed off.

Once the coast was clear, we gathered at the Command Centre to understand the new apparent Sailor Guardians. "Unbelievable!" Artemis gasped.

"The question is, are they Sailor Guardians?" Minako wondered.

"We only saw them from a distance." Ami reminded her. "We can't jump to conclusions."

"If they are Guardians, why would they disappear?" Usagi asked. "Why wouldn't they come join our team?"

"Good point." Mako agreed.

"Which means it's more likely they're enemies." Mamoru said.

"Hold on." I but in. "That may not be the case. They may just have a different agenda to us. I mean, when I first became a Sailor Guardian, I did everything in my power to avoid being associated with you all in the beginning. Not to mention you, Minako, you were solo for a good while." Everyone looked as if they agreed, albeit reluctantly.

"They'll show up again." Topaz said, turning to the group. "I don't doubt it."

"That means everyone should be careful." Malachite told us.

"And don't forget, these guys are suspicious too." Luna added. I turned to the screen to see that Luna had brought up pictures of Haruka, and the girl that he was with.

"They were suspicious." Minako said. "Making threats like that is pretty hostile."

"Chibi-Usa, Chibi-Kumi." Usagi started, kneeling in front of the girls. "Is something on your mind."

"Yeah." Chibi-Kumi said. "I was thinking about the girl who healed me, Hotaru."

"Her skin was so white." Chibi-Usa commented. "It seemed like we could almost see through it. She was pretty, don't you think?"

TIMESKIP

That night, Usagi and the twins slept over at my place. I woke up in the middle of the night, by that same strange dream…I had been having it for a couple days now, and it was always the same thing. A voice calling out into the darkness, begging for someone to wake up. Destruction…Three Talismans…what is this dream trying to tell me? To look for them? To stay away from them? I turned and looked back at my future family. Whatever happens, I would protect them.

After school the next day, I decided to head to the bookstore to do some research on Mugen Academy. I ended up finding a book on Souichi Tomoe. Luna had found out the night before that Souichi was not only the owner of Mugen Academy, but the entirety of Mugenzu itself. He was also Hoturu's father. "Souichi…Tomoe…" I repeated softly.

"Considering a transfer to Mugen Academy?" A voice behind me asked. I turned to see the girl that I had bumped into the other day, with teal hair. "Professor Tomoe doesn't just own the school, he's a world-renowned instructor, though I heard he's been expelled from the academic community for some time."

"Seriously?" I wondered. "Do you know why?"

"Who knows. There is a rumour Mugen Academy is a training school for sorcerers. Crazy, right? Perhaps they say that because of the myriad of talented students who attend, or perhaps-"

"Um, excuse me." A voice said from behind Mechiru, causing her to turn slightly. A brown-haired girl was staring up at her with wide eyes and clasped hands. "But are you the famous violin soloist, Michiru Kaiou?"

"Yes." Michiru replied. The girl cheered.

"You're an absolute virtuoso! May I please get your autograph?" The girl offered Michiru a marker and a piece of paper. She took it and started to sign it for the girl. Michiru Kaiou. So that's who this girl is. I paid for my new book and walked out of the store.

"So, you're a virtuoso, huh?" I wondered. "Are you one of those 'sorcerers' that your school is training?" I joked.

"Could be." Michiru replied. "Why not come judge for yourself." Michiru handed me an envelope. "Here are some tickets to my next recital. You should bring a friend, maybe that cute blonde-haired girl you always seem to hang out with." I opened the envelope and saw two envelopes.

"I really hate to ask, but can I get a couple more?" I asked her, looking up to Michiru. "I have a couple people I'd like to bring."

"Of course." Michiru pulled out two more tickets and handed them to me.

"Thank you so much." I said with a smile. "You'll be sure to see us in the crowd." Michiru smiled back at me and then walked away. I looked down at the tickets and smiled a little wider. I really hope that Usagi and the twins are happy with these tickets, I think a family outing is exactly what we need.
