~Chapter Two~
It was a hot and sunny morning in Japan. Two slender "humans" entered a white vehicle. The slightly taller one sat down and asked, "Are you ready to head back?"
"Yeah," replied Serena sitting down, "But I'll miss being in a relationship."
"At least, he's not the jealous type that just so happens to turn evil," said Mikey grinning.
"Yeah…" Serena sadly agreed, "Well, now we know what he is actually capable of when in his jealous mode." Serena said laughing attempting to cheer herself up.
"We really need to tell Pluto to stop showing us that alternate universe of us," said Mikey, getting goosebumps.
"Stop being such a scaredy cat and drive," commanded Serena, "We have to hurry so we're not late to our meeting with the Inners," she continued.
Mikey chuckled as he started the car. That's right Mikey is driving. When he got to Japan, he learnt how to drive. Oh how he can't wait to see how his brothers will react to him driving! Mikey's done many things while being in Japan. Such as becoming a Sailor Senshi! Mikey was known as the "Sun Knight", he's made quite a name for himself. He's always wanted to be a superhero, after all.
Glancing at Serena, he noted that Serena was just as bubbly as him, even though she died a couple of times. Oh sure, he DID die when he helped Serena with the Sailor Saturn and Pharaoh 90 fiasco, but that was only once...ohh what about all those times being a ninja?
"Anyways, I wonder what this year has in store for us," Mikey said, expressing his thoughts.
"I hope something that's normal," prayed Serena, "We just defeated our Aunt Nehelenia and healed her."
"True," said Mikey, "But you never know with our lives, being reincarnated royals-"
"We should head back to your old home and see what's going on there." Suggested Serena, cutting off Mikey. "You know, in America. We could check in on your family."
"Puu did say that my brothers have been fighting against Shreadhead more frequently," said a thoughtful Mikey while also laughing at the nickname he gave his family's archenemy.
"The real question is if you are ready to face your brothers. After all, it was them that drove you away in the first place." Serena said while taking Mikey's free hand and holding it reassuringly.
Mikey hummed in agreement as he thought back to the day he left. He thought back to all the times he was treated like a fool, a child. He was a prince, goddammit!
But in Japan, he was taken more seriously, as the Sun Knight. with the Sailor Senshi than he ever had with his brothers.
Sadly, he still missed Master Splinter, he even missed his brothers and human friends. But, then again, he recently saw his father. He's been able to meditate easier and has been communicating with his father. He even introduced Serena. They became so close that Serena sometimes calls him Papa.
"So, should I tell father about our Aunt Nehelenia?" Mikey asked while using one hand to brush hair away from his eyes.
"Mhm sure! Just don't tell him that we died a couple of months back…" replied Serena.
"Hah! Of course not! He would go crazy if he knew," said Mikey as he parked the car at Crown Arcade. "I'll just tell him that you were unaware of the enemy and got your Dream Mirror smashed." He continued.
"Big Brother," whined Serena as she glared at Mikey. "Don't-"
"I'm kidding," said Mikey, "again, I don't want my father to get a heart attack. He's extremely overprotective…"
Serena sighed as she got out of the car. She didn't want to be the reason Splinter died due to the news of them dying.
The two made their way into Crown Arcade to tell the Inners about the mutual break-up between Serena and Mamoru.
1 day later later:
"Hey, it's not that funny!" Huffed Serena, pouting as she spoke.
"Of course it is!" Argued Mikey, "Even I know who the Three Lights are!"
"Ugh," groaned Serena, "Why can't that Seiya guy stop with that 'Odango' nickname?! Rei and Mamoru call me that too! My head is not shaped li-"
Mikey laughed harder, snorting too. It was the next day and Serena was being teased about not knowing who the famous boy group, the Three Lights were. Serena pouted more ever since the guy she bumped into was the leader of the Three Lights. She had more important things to do, thank you very much. "Stop laughing, Mitsuki," pouted Serena.
"D-don't tell this to Seiya, about me," said a smirking Mikey as he calmed down from his laughter, while being slightly startled by the use of his royal name.
"Oh hey, we should focus more on that new enemy," remembered Serena.
"I can't believe I have another upgrade just to deal with them!" Mikey said, astonished.
"Mhm yeah…" Serena voiced her agreement.
"Oh hey, we should have a Senshi meeting soon! To discuss our new enemy, the evil senshi." said Mikey
Serena agreed once more, "But there is one thing you can do, my dearest brother."
"And what's that, my dearest sister?" asked Mikey.
"You could tell papa- I mean Master Splinter about our new enemy so that he doesn't worry while also telling him to tell your older brothers not to look for you due to said evil. I know what they did was wrong but they worry Mikey" said Serena.
"Hmm…maybe. I know they worry but I don't know if I am ready to see them again."
3 days later:
"Are we going to get to sparring before Seiya gets here?" asked an inpatient Serena.
"Yup," answered Mikey, "Master Splinter says that you have potential to use a glaive like Sailor Saturn, and a sword."
"Which is different from a katana? " asked Serena.
"It's similar, but a katana is much thinner while a sword is more bulky," explained Mikey.
"Why didn't you ever show this kind knowledge before?" asked Serena as both went into a hidden room underneath the house.
"My big brother Leo looked like he was having a jealous fit when we were tots due to me knowing things and getting a kata right in the first or second try," said a sad Mikey.
"Mikey, I know you." Serena started.
"I would hope so sister." Interrupted Mikey.
"I know that you are a prankster, no, THE prankster. But big brother, there is nothing you can do." Serena explained.
"Huh what I wasn't going to…THEY DON'T KNOW WHO I AM IT'S THE PERFECT PRANK!" Shouted Mikey. "I GO IN A LIKE THIS RANDOM DUDE WHO LIVES WITH YOU AND-"
"No they do…I kind of told them." Serena said, turning to Mikey.
Mikey, confused, asked, "I'm sorry, what? You told them what? Sis…what? They-they don't know so it was going to be a prank since/"
"That you're Mitsuki. My brother, the prince. I told them the truth a while ago," Serena explained, "About a week after you arrived in Japan I told the inners. Then the others…are you mad? I didn't think it was important until now. You were going to prank them. I knew it."
"…" Mikey was stunned. "Awww" he said putting, "it was going to be funny! And no I'm not mad..."
"Oh! I didn't tell Seiya!" Serena suddenly realized.
"OH THE PRANK IS STILL ON!"
