S.A.M. Chapter 5

Arc 1: not all as it seems, chapter 5 pre-birthday warnings from nightmares, New evil arrives

Samiko's welcoming party was a huge success and everyone couldn't stop talking about it.

When everyone left Crystal Tokyo Palace, Akiko and Samiko were on the balcony talking under the moonlight. The mood was set for the next events that were going to take place, chibiusa was hiding behind the two best friends who were deep in conversation.

She smirked at the scene in front of her, she would later on take samiko somewhere to talk privately. They went to the library and sat down, samiko looked at her older cousin in front of her with eyes squinting wondering what they had to talk about.

Last night Samiko was warned not to celebrate her birthday because it could lead to misfortune. She was warned in her nightmare, even though it wasn't a powerful enough nightmare to scare her, she took it as is.

Chibiusa looked at her younger cousin with a smirk

"I am glad your party was a success. I am glad you enjoyed yourself samiko."

Samiko nodded nervously

"I knew if I didn't have it, you guys wouldn't let me live it down. I didn't want something so small to be held over my head if I am going to live here.

I just did what everyone expected of me to do, I was just following the rules."

Chibiusa smiled at her younger cousin

"Samiko-chan, something like that won't be held over your head. The party was a huge success if I do say so myself.

Soooo….. I want to know what happened after everyone left. What were you and the young Hino princess up to?

You two seemed to be in deep conversation about something. I mean the affection that was displayed was cute and romantic to say the least. I can feel the devotion that was going on as well.

The young princess has you wrapped around her finger."

Samiko blushed dark red shaking her head

"Akiko and I were only talking. There is nothing else that happened. We were talking about colleges and careers and other things.

I mean there is nothing wrong with having deep conversations with your best friends. Akiko doesn't have me wrapped around her finger, We are just childhood best friends and that's all that there is."

Chibiusa smirked

"I saw something completely different. You two looked pretty cozy from where I was.

Are you sure there is nothing going on with you two? I mean I won't hold it against you if there is something going on with you two.

Rei wouldn't be happy if a relationship was forming under her nose with the cousin of neo queen serenity and her own baby cousin. She is super overprotective of her family and her shrine, also protective of crystal Tokyo."

Samiko blinked

"I can assure you that nothing is going on with Akiko and me. We are childhood best friends.

What else is there to know? The lines between friendships and relationships will never ever cross.

I have other things to concern myself with before I even think about having a relationship.

I am the type that has to move with the flow and keep my distance as I go along with it.

I don't believe in relationships, I am focused on a possible career and going away for college. My main focus is to be on my own without depending on anyone to be there for me.

I have made it that far with that train of thought and I will continue to do so. The purple haired woman has nothing to worry about.

I can promise you I will keep akiko at arm's length. I already know that Akiko's cousin doesn't like me at all, I do know my place in the world and I will stay there.

I don't show affection to anyone at all, I wasn't built like that.

I wasn't showered with affection as a child. I was taught to forget emotions and work my way through the world.

I don't want unwanted attention drawn to me. Unwanted attention is dangerous attention."

Chibiusa had a look of concern on her face when she heard her younger cousin spoke the way she did

"Samiko, being born into this family won't be easy. The unwanted attention comes with the territory unfortunately.

You are a princess just like me, you are definitely destined for greatness but you have to see it in yourself first.

You will be showered with affection in this house whether you like it or not. I know it's a tough pill to swallow but you have to get used to it.

You have a strong head on your shoulders, you already established relationships outside of the castle before you even moved in here.

I want you to believe that you are welcomed here in Crystal Tokyo Palace. There will be times you will get frustrated so much you will cry and want to scream into your pillow to calm down.

I want you to feel comfortable enough to enjoy living here with mom and dad."

Samiko looked at chibiusa with a confused look on her face

"Uh, ok. I get what you are saying. I am just taking time to learn all I can. I don't want to be a burden on your parents when I can figure things out on my own.

I want to do things my own way, I don't want things to be decided for me. I don't believe in fate or destiny. I am just me.

I am who I am at the end of the day, whoever I decide to be I am that person for the rest of my existence. Can I please return to my bedroom?

I want to start reading my book I bought the other day when I was out with haruka-san and michiru-san."

Chibiusa nodded and sighed

"Samiko, you may go back to your room. We will come back to this conversation at another time. I just want to tell you one thing. One word, three syllables.

This word will change your life and it's the first three letters of your name."

Samiko turned to look at chibiusa and blinked

"Chibiusa, what word would that be? I am confused."

Chibiusa smirked looking at her baby cousin

"Samiko serenity tsukino-tomoe, you are going to be named Sailor angel moon. I gave you the name after everyone told me you transformed and freaked out.

Your name is Sailor Angel Moon. That is all, Now go enjoy your book reading, I have some work to do.

I am on vacation from college and I still have homework to do."

Samiko was already gone and back in her room, she put her headsets on and started reading her book on her couch

She had those negative thoughts in her mind again as she was reading

The music she was playing was very light and calming, the thought of her and akiko was wishful thinking and Akiko should be protected from afar

'i care about all my friends, they are my support system as they say.

I would never ever cross the line with Akiko. I would never look at her any different than I do now. She is my best friend and that's all there is to it.

I know she wouldn't look at me with those eyes of hers. She sees past me, not through me.

We are going to remain in the friend zone. The best friends to lovers troup is very cliche. Romance isn't in my cards. It never will be, not since Lizzie was taken by her parents.

I want everyone else to experience romance, I will stay far away from it. I know nothing good can come from loving me.

I am going to focus on my education and my future career, if I make it that far. I know everyone doesn't remember what happened on the moon, but I do.'

She started the first page of her book series, after a while she fell asleep with her book on her face and her headsets in her ears.

The game arcade downstairs in the lower level where the command center is stored

The cats and the sailor guardians were all accounted for, Evie came behind Luna and her cat family.

Evie jumped on to miyako's lap and laid there comfortably, She looked at Michiko who was quiet the entire time

"Michiko and Miyako, you know your mission is to protect Samiko at all costs. She is your future leader whether she accepts it or not.

She transformed into a senshi beautifully and heard me talk, she saw a lot of things in one evening. She claimed to have had a dream and didn't hear me talk.

She is in the ultimate state of denial. We can't force her to accept what's happened. We have to let her accept this on her own. She is used to doing things on her own and figuring things out.

I see you brought Shiori with you. I am sure she can learn a lot from this meeting. She is after all a tomoe, just like Samiko."

Michiko petted Evie carefully

"We had to bring Shiori, with Noriko gone for a few more weeks due to the science convention.

We couldn't leave Shiori alone. We would be considered horrible parents if we left our child alone. We are part of the family reunion that will take place at our cousins home.

We aren't sure if samiko will attend such an event.

She is very nervous around new people and we don't need her to have an emotional emergency breakdown in front of people. I mean she ran away as soon as she saw us, well me.

She threatened to break Miyako's arm if we came near her."

Evie jumped on to Michiko's lap and nuzzled her hand

"I am sorry she threatened Miyako, But Michiko you can be a bit intimidating to say the least. I know what Miyako did was horrible, tenohs have loose lips when it comes to their future ruler.

I want you especially to make Samiko feel welcomed around these parts of tokyo. She hasn't gotten used to living at Usagi and Mamoru's castle.

I know how she thinks and feels most of the time, she feels very uncomfortable. The look in her eyes are screaming that she needs to leave and be on her own. She created her own air of isolation and she would prefer to be alone for the rest of her life.

I have a feeling something is warning her to disappear and she will listen to that tiny voice in her head.

I don't want her to do something she will regret later. She doesn't want the uncalled for attention to be drawn to her. She hates attention."

Michiko kept petting Evie carefully while she was on her lap

"I have known Samiko since we were grade school students, even then she was more mature than the rest of us. She walked to school on her own without her parents being around. She was a mini adult in grade school.

I don't know if Samiko is ready to forgive me yet, but she can hold a grudge until the end of time if she wanted to."

Chibiusa was the last to arrive at the command center because she was tied up with homework and having a conversation with Samiko which she gained information from.

When Chibiusa was younger she always had the mind of a detective and wanted to figure out the pieces of a huge puzzle, but with her younger cousin who she had spoken to just a while ago, she had become very confused and concerned.

The way she spoke was very mature and intelligent for someone who is only in the 8th grade and is fifteen years old.

There were a lot of things a simple fifteen year old shouldn't have gone through before moving into crystal Tokyo palace.

She would have to speak to her parents about it when they get home.

The meeting was going to start once Minako and Artemis arrive, they finally arrived because they were attending to shrine duties.

Usagi stood up from where she was sitting at, she stood in the middle of the command center looking at everyone around her

"I am happy to announce Samiko's welcoming party was a huge success. I am pretty sure that she may or may not want another one for a very long while, I will respect her choices. As for now, we have to discuss her scout training.

I am pretty sure she isn't used to anything out of the blue happening to her. She was pretty freaked out from transforming.

I think the best way for us to help her is to guide her without her knowing. I know she is too wise for her own good, she will figure it out and freeze us out.

We are making steady progress with her and I want to know about her. I mean Haruka and Michiru made more progress than I did.

They treated her like an adult and she stayed over at their apartment and they dropped her off at school. I want to see the world through her eyes, what she feels and what she thinks.

She is like a book you can't put down and you want to find out more about the character you are reading about."

Chibiusa cleared her throat to gain the Attention of the room, everyone looked at the teen princess in front of them

She looked at everyone and nodded

"I want to thank everyone for the warmest of welcomes home. My mother is right, with the huge success of samiko's party we can probably expect only a few parties out of her.

I spoke to her before I came to the command center. I have some concerns about how she speaks, it's almost like she doesn't want to say much to anyone.

I got some of a reading of her, she is trapped inside her own thoughts and feelings. She definitely has a wall built up to protect herself from revealing what she wants to say.

I think whatever happened to her before she moved in with us, triggered her to be in a shell. She wants to depend on us but she can't or doesn't want to because she'll feel like she is a burden on everyone.

I followed her after the party a few weeks ago.She was in a deep conversation under the moonlight with her best friend.

They were really in deep conversation and it was chilly that night and she gave her jacket to keep her best friend warm.

I saw blushes but I ran off to my room because I didn't want them to catch me spying on them.

I felt something in the air between them, she assured me when I spoke to her that there is nothing going on with her and her best friend.

She has a feeling Rei doesn't like her for whatever reason and she will keep her best friend at arm's length. She knows her place in the world as she told me, she will never cross the line between friends and get into a relationship.

She told me she doesn't believe in relationships or marriage. She would rather have a career after college. What I have seen and heard, she is torn between who she has to be and who she wants to be.

I know I am getting to know her but she needs to come out of her shell a little bit more."

Usagi looked at her daughter with smirk

"Chibiusa, what was the aura you sensed around samiko and her best friend? What gave you the idea that there was something more going on?"

Chibiusa was twiddling her fingers in circles

"Mama, I felt the passion coming from the two. You could light a candle with it.

It seemed to me the Hino princess was waiting for something to happen, then again samiko probably got the thought in her mind that they are just Best friends and nothing more can happen and she probably got the glares of the century from Rei from the sleepover party you had.

She didn't mention to me how that event went but I have a feeling Samiko is scared of Rei."

Rei came from the shadows tapping her foot angrily

"I feel so insulted, but I shouldn't be. I don't know why I scare the Saturn rabbit so much. As a shrine maiden I have to read anyone who steps foot inside the castle to deem them worthy of being near usagi and Mamoru.

We didn't know she existed until now, her parents just dropped her off with a note hoping you finish the parenting of her?

How can we really be sure if she really is related to you or not? A random relative shows up at your door? I feel like there is more to what her parents led you to believe."

Usagi sighed and shook her head at Rei

"Rei, I understand your concerns about samiko living with us. She doesn't act like a tomoe or a Tsukino. She is trying to find her own identity.

She doesn't want to be associated with status or titles. She doesn't like to have unwanted attention drawn to herself.

She mostly keeps to herself or she is with her friends from school studying. She also works two part time jobs and has club meetings. She is a very busy 15 year old.

What can I say? She keeps herself distracted with work and activities she likes. She hasn't once caused trouble at all. She is trying to be herself.

You need to cut her a break, I am pretty sure she wouldn't make Akiko cry or get her angry.

They aren't going to be the 2.0 version of us. I haven't heard them fight or scream at each other.

They are the mature version of what we were at their age. We need more maturity and a sense of direction and discipline.

Samiko has shown she has control of her friend group, she has important and impossible requests and responsibilities to attend to.

I am sure things will go without incident and remain peaceful.

I don't know why her parents see her as a problem. She hasn't shown anything but respect and understanding while being with us.

I think the fear her parents put in her before she came here is messing with her mentally. She needs proper guidance and training.

We will see in the coming months how she reacts to changes. I am sure Akiko keeps samiko under wraps when it comes to her emotions."

Rei dropped it for now and continued to listen to the meeting

"I am glad samiko enjoyed herself at her welcoming party. I am glad it went well for her, now for the comment Chibiusa made about the passion between our cousins.Can she go deeper into that because I want to know what she meant by that."

Chibiusa looked at Rei with a concerned look on her face

"I saw what I saw Rei, two best friends talking under the moonlight, samiko gave Akiko her jacket to keep warm.

Akiko blushed a very rosey red because of the way samiko was holding her. It was cute and romantic, like it was out of those old time romcoms from your time. I am sure nothing happened after that given the fact that their friends spent the night after the party."

Usagi nodded

"Samiko hasn't slept on her bed since her friends started sleeping over because of school and their projects.

She has her own personal couch she lays on when she is tired from school or work or doing extracurricular activities. She does read a lot of books on that couch when she isn't doing scientific experiments on her desk. I am pretty sure Akiko is safe around samiko. We have more pressing matters to attend to.

What is the senshi name we are giving samiko? She had angel wings and a halo. I still don't get why she freaked out about it. Her transformation was unique and different from mine. She was full of raw emotion as she transformed and she handled that monster well."

Mamoru cleared his throat and had one eye opened

"Usako, didn't we give her a senshi name already? I mean we spoke to chibiusa about it. I thought we decided on Sailor angel moon, given the fact she had angel wings and a halo on her head.

She is a literal angel senshi, a new breed of senshi is born. She will go through the same thing you did Usako,finding her team and keeping the planet safe."

Rei shook her head quickly

"Akiko isn't ready for this life. She is going to be a normal girl. I want her to have a peaceful life, enjoy her life. We have fought long and hard so we don't have the need to use senshis anymore."

Usagi looked at Rei with a concerned look on her face

"Rei, I understand your concerns. Who's to say that Akiko will become a scout? I mean there are a lot more of us now. We have more family members all over the world far and wide. We just have to wait for now. The partial training for samiko starts for her to do some of the senshi stuff on her own."

Haruka looked at her queen and had her arms crossed

"Michiru and I will watch her from the shadows for now. She doesn't need babysitters in her state of mind, but we will definitely keep an eye on her. What is her brooch and transformation pen going to look like?"

Chibiusa looked at everyone in front of her

"I believe the time and training will come from her heart, her transformation pen and brooch will all come from her heart. We have to give her time and space to figure this out."

Back at the castle, samiko woke up from a nightmare

The nightmare was powerful then the last one, she couldn't take it anymore and decided to go for a jog to clear her mind. She hoped no monster would come out while she was out clearing her mind.

The first monster did that and she wasn't happy about it, not in the least.She wanted peace and quiet letting her mind wander off into space.

She stopped by the park and sat on the bench staring up at the clear sky. She started to let her mind wander off into a deep happy space where nothing can get to her.

The sky got extremely dark out of nowhere as if it was going to rain or snow, a huge monster appeared out of the sky roaring, scaring the citizens of crystal tokyo.

Samiko snapped out of her zoned out like trance and saw the monster in the middle of the city and got off the bench running toward the juuban shopping center.

The monster was destroying everything in its path and kept scaring the citizens, It looked around trying to find where incredible energy source of power was

"WHERE IS NEO QUEEN SERENITY AND HER SILVER CRYSTAL? I WANT TO DRAIN ITS POWER FROM HER! WHERE IS SHE? NEO QUEEN SERENITY WHERE ARE YOU?!"

It kept looking for usagi and her crystal, Samiko finally made it to where the monster was and she stood there shaking her head in confusion

"Why does this always happen to me when I am outside? All I want to do is relax and chill out after my jog.

A jog is supposed to relax my overthinking mind, why are these monsters obsessed with life energy draining? I don't want to be a senshi, but i have no choice but to accept this life of responsibility for now.

How do I transform into my senshi form? I have nothing to use to transform with. What do I even say to transform? I don't know what to do.

Samiko, calm down and relax. The words or wording will come to you in a moment."

The monster saw Samiko standing in the middle of the intersection, it charged at her with full force

"NEO QUEEN SERENITY, THERE YOU ARE! TIRED OF HIDING IN YOUR CASTLE? GIVE ME YOUR SILVER CRYSTAL! I WANT ALL THE POWER AND ENERGY THAT SILLY CRYSTAL HAS!"

It tried to grab samiko but it didn't work, she was too fast for it and backflipped behind it

Samiko glared at the monster and smirked

"I have no idea what you are talking about, I am the wrong Serenity. I look nothing like my older cousin. I am sick and tired of monsters destroying the city and disturbing my peace and quiet.

You will pay for your crimes against the shopping district! Here goes nothing! CRYSTAL PRISM POWER MAKE UP!"

She raised her right arm high to the sky and started to transform, a brooch came out of nowhere attaching itself to Samiko's senshi uniform right in the center.

She finally was in her senshi form and was glaring at the monster. The monster was blinded by the light due to the city behind surrounded by crystals.

Samiko was in the middle of the brightness and had her sunglasses on because she didn't want the brightness of crystal tokyo to mess with her vision

"People far and wide come to visit crystal tokyo to relax and find peace, a monster like you has no place here! Disrupting the peace and serenity of this place is unforgivable.

I am the guardian of peace, serenity and clarity.I am Sailor angel moon, in the name of crystal tokyo, I will punish you!"

She posed just like her cousin neo queen serenity.

The monster was rubbing its eyes to see what was in front of it, it saw a full senshi with wings and a halo.

Back at the command center, everyone saw Samiko's transformation and snickered looking at Usagi's facial expression.

Chibiusa had a full on giggle attack remembering her mother's time as a senshi before she had become queen of crystal tokyo

She looked at her mother and nudged her in her ribs playfully winking

"Mama, brings back memories for you huh? Don't you want to just jump back into your senshi uniform? Samiko, once again, surprises me with her transformation. It's a good thing we gave her the name Sailor angel moon.

She finally accepted who she is for now, that is stage one. Stage two will be much more difficult for her. We will continue to watch her grow into her new role as the chosen one of crystal tokyo."

They continued to watch Samiko battle the monster in downtown Tokyo and she was making quick work of it.

They were impressed by how quick she can move and how she doesn't allow too much space between her and the enemy so she doesn't get hit or eaten in any way.

Haruka noticed how high the saturn rabbit was in the air due to her angel wings

"The Saturn Rabbit is a bit high in the sky, don't you all think? I know she is getting used to her new sense of power and responsibility. Don't you all remember the story of icarus?

He flew too close to the sun and his wings melted and he met his tragic end in the rough seas."

Michiru looked at the large screen of the command center

"I am sure Samiko can handle it, she won't have her wings melted. We are treating her like an adult.

This is her chance to prove she can handle anything dangerous or non danger thrown at her.

She has to learn how to balance normal girl life and how to be a senshi. She has a very long battle ahead of her."

Minako looked at the screen in front of her and snickered

"I can definitely say, Samiko is related to usagi and chibiusa. There is no doubt now.

She is definitely the cousin of you two, mannerisms are exactly the same and the pose is on point. We can leave our kingdom in her hands for now. I have no doubt she will run off and hide for all eternity like she planned."

Rei blinked and sighed

"I suppose there is nothing we can do now, I will continue my shrine duties and do my daily readings. Minako, let's head home to dust and clean the shrine. We have a lot to do before the girls come home."

Minako groaned in annoyance and looked at her wife

"Rei, we just cleaned the entire shrine at five am this morning, how much more do we need to clean. It's spotless beyond comparison.

I have to say it's the shiniest of shrines in crystal tokyo.

We should focus on cooking them a nice and healthy meal for when they get home from school or from whatever activity they are doing.

It is the weekend and we need to relax. We are retired senshi, we have the chance to relax and frolic. We can be normal elders for once."

Chibiusa looked at everyone and smirked

"You guys missed the entire battle just now, she turned that monster into dust. She used a very powerful super kick and it turned the monster into a crystal sculpture and shattered it into pieces.

We should head home, this has been a great and exciting afternoon.. We have to beat Samiko home. I conclude that this meeting is over and we will have our next meeting after a month. I return to America next week so I can't stay for long.

I am about to finish my third year and will start my fourth in the fall. I will return home after graduation to see if Samiko has made any progress."

Everyone went home as soon as possible, after the battle was done Samiko went back to the park to relax on the bench.

Akiko just happened to pass by and see samiko alone relaxing, she sat by her and laid her head on her shoulder

"Samiko, what brings you outside at this hour? Was your mind cluttered again?"

She held her hand in a friendly way and had a goofy smile on her face.

Samiko held Akiko's hand back, putting her other arm around her shoulder

"Hey akiko, oh it's nothing really. I went for a jog and my mind was clear. I feel a lot better now that you are by my side. I can't explain it but I feel like you were always meant to keep me calm from making stupid choices or doing anything rash. We have known each other since grade school and nothing bad has happened. I want us to always live in peace and in harmony, I want us to always have clarity."

Minako and Rei were walking past juuban Crystal park on their way to the shrine, they happened to catch Samiko and Akiko sitting on the bench all cozied up and talking.

Minako had that devious look in her eyes and her eyebrows wiggled in the love demon way

"Rei, Samiko is a good kid. She means no harm to anyone. She seems like a very pure soul.What's wrong with akiko finding a love interest in Samiko? It seems to me it was written in the stars. Samiko sees akiko as a best friend but akiko possibly sees samiko as a love interest or a life partner.

We will not interfere and let nature take its course for a while. We will let the events fall into place as they happen. We have to head home before they spot us and they think we were spying on their cute moment."

They ran like bats outta hell leaving the two best friends alone. Rei didn't like what she saw but Minako was right.

She didn't admit it to her because she didn't want her to get a big head.

A cat like shaped ball appeared out of the sky falling on the top of Samiko's head and it started floating in front of the two, A voice came from the cat like shaped ball and it's eyes activated

"Samiko, you are wanted home. We need to speak to you. I hope you aren't causing trouble or getting into trouble outside of Crystal Tokyo palace.

Who am I kidding? You don't cause trouble. Well we do need you home."

Samiko rubbed the top of her head softly and was in pain but she recognized the voice

"Chibiusa, a warning would be nice next time before dropping your floating device to land on my head to tell me to come home.

I will come home now, it better be important to drag me from the park where I was relaxing."

She got up and dusted herself off and quickly said goodbye to akiko running back to the castle for what they called a family meeting.

Akiko made it to the shrine as well and started to relax in her bedroom.

Samiko walked into the library where Usagi and Mamoru are usually in when they are doing loads of paperwork.

She sat down in the chair in front of the desk and waited for her cousin and her husband to enter, they finally entered with Chibiusa.

Usagi sat down behind the desk and looked at her baby cousin

"Samiko, how are you feeling? We know it hasn't been easy living here with us. We just want to make sure you are ok physically, spiritually and emotionally and most important mentally. We take your health very seriously and we want to make sure you are all well.

We saw and heard a monster attacking the city and you were able to transform into your senshi form without a problem."

Chibiusa nodded

"We are extremely proud of you, Samiko. We are amazed in how you are fitting into your new role as a senshi.

We know you aren't used to saving the world but it is your calling. It is what you were meant to do.

Your fighting style is very unique and it is your own. We thank you for protecting our city."

Samiko blushed red from embarrassment and rubbed the back of her head

"I mean, I live in crystal tokyo now. I don't like my personal space or peace to be interrupted.

I like my peace and quiet whenever I go on my jogs at whatever time of day to clear my mind. When I jog or go for a run, my mind becomes decluttered and I get all the clarity in the world.

I feel at ease and I feel like I can almost depend on everyone to a certain extent. It takes me a very long time for me to get used to new places and getting used to new people coming into my life.

I don't know how I am going to get used to being a senshi, I will try to make the best of it if that makes you all feel better."

Usagi smiled and nodded

"We support you and whatever choices you make in life Samiko, we just want you happy and healthy is all.

We apologize if Luna p hit you on the head too hard, she hit mamo-chan on the head too. Does your head hurt at all? Did you catch a headache?"

Samiko shook her head and smiled nervously

"I am fine Usagi, don't worry about it. I hardly feel a thing. Next time you three want me home to make sure I am ok outside of the castle, call my cell phone.

We have smartphones and smartwatches for a reason, I will rush right home if you all need me to be at the castle for whatever reason. I would like to relax in the bath now, is that ok? I had a very eventful afternoon instead of finishing my jog.

I did manage to get some clarity and found some peace, thankfully akiko stopped by the park and sat with me keeping me calm."

Usagi smirked and looked at her baby cousin leaving the library

"Samiko, are you sure there isn't anything going on between you and akiko? You two seem a lot cozier these days. We just want to make sure things are ok with you two."

Samiko stopped in her tracks and sweat began to drop from her temple

"I can assure you, nothing is going on with akiko and I. We are just best friends and that's all there is to it. I will go enjoy my bath now. I will see you all at dinner at six. See ya!"

She went to her room to grab her bath things to relax, she finally made it inside, the bath was luxurious and spacious. She decided to stay in the bath until dinner time.

Time went by so slowly that she began falling asleep in the tub letting the warm water hit every inch of her body.

The nightmare of her celebrating her birthday was definitely a warning for her not to celebrate it.

She wasn't planning to celebrate it anyways, she was going to just drive up the coast and come back around midnight to the castle.

Somewhere in the darker parts in the universe, there was a cold presence with evil intentions of invading earth.

She sat on her throne encircling her hands around a orb

"Ah, yes…. It's been many centuries since there were any active senshi.

This one is a different breed compared to the first senshi team of the last century.

I have to be extra careful when I invade earth."

She snapped her fingers and four men appeared out of thin air laughing menacingly with their arm against their chest

All you can see is their eyes peering out of the darkness…
