" Hotaru," Michiru started, wanting to say something to the girl. It had been so long since they last heard anything of the Forgotten Queen. Had they themselves forgotten of the girl? No, it wasn't possible.Shaking her head a bit she placed her hands ontop of Haruka's, leaning back against the other girl. After seeing the tragedy that the girl went though, knowing of it, it was near impossible to forget such a thing. And thinking that she was awakened again...It was a near horrifying thought of what could happen. By the time she had her thoughts together she noticed something. Hotaru was no longer there.

" Oh no...Hotaru wait!" Letting out an exasperated sigh Michiru looked back at Haruka and Setsuna, unwrapping herself from her lovers arms before she started off after the younger senshi. It wasn't safe for her to just run off like that. It was late, anything could happen. Not only that but it was a new city, meaning the girl could get lost very easily and end up in God knows where.

As much as she didn't want to be Michiru was very...motherly at times. Even though this wasn't necessarily a bad thing it caused her to worry a lot more then she should have over her team members, especially Hotaru. It could have been because she was the youngest, or because she was so frail at times, but something compelled her to want to take care of the girl. It was weird, and unexplainable...Shaking her head to get out of her thoughts she quickly transformed into Sailor Neptune as she ran, finally catching up to Haruka and Hotaru.

Setsuna was more then a little surprised as she heard Hotaru's words. At first she wanted to ask if the girl as sure. But then again the girl was rarely, if ever, wrong about what she felt. A thousand and one question flew around inside the time senshi's head, the main one being exactly what had caused the Queen to awaken in the first place and how dangerous it really was. Not only that but would the woman be alright? It had been so long since she had been awakened to fight...

Standing up from her previous position she took in a deep breath, running after her three comrades. For not she would have to suck up her pain and deal with more important matters, like helping her friends and the queen. Making sure no one else could possibly be watching she quickly transformed, making her way along side her friends. Hopefully the Queen was alright...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~​



Being a little over eleven thousand years old Ash had seen many a things in his life. Some of those things were normal while others were a little weirder then others. This was one of those things that was, well...weirder then others. And as weird as it felt to say, he actually had no idea what the hell was going on, and he didn't like that. Not one bit. Though something about this did feel slightly familiar, may it be the people involved or the situation itself, he just wasn't sure which one.

Brining himself back into focus he watched for a moment, surprised to see Nick running away. " Nick, wa-" Now wasn't the best time to call out for the boy. If he didn't want to talk he probably wasn't going to and it would be better if he didn't force it. For now he would focus on helping the woman in front of him here and now fend off daimons.

Quickest, simplest, easiest way to do that? God bolts, but he didn't want to use those right now, not when he wasn't sure who this woman was. Then again she did just do some freaky blast thing to...Shrugging his shoulders he extended his hand, a bright yellow bolt of energy shooting forth immeditly, hitting a daimon in the back and turning him into dust instantly. Yeah, so much quicker then anything else, so he proceeded to do it a few more times, wanting this to be over with as quickly as possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~​

Kazetama watched with interest at the woman at the two men, or well, one man now. Why did he looked so...familiar again? He'd dwell on that later, meanwhile he just wanted to get back to Ai and get home. Was he a lazy little...what ever the hell he was? No, not really, he was just tired! So without another thought he shifted back into the shadows, moving quickly back to his owner.

" So Ash is here..." Ai was leaned back against a brick wall, her eyes closed and hands behind her back, seeing what ever her little demon saw. Even though she should have been much more interested at the sight of the senshi she wasn't, it was her brother she was more interested in. Yes, her brother, though it wasn't as if he knew that. It was only because her mother cried about him so much that she knew she had a brother in the first place. Thing was she couldn't ask about him, think about about him, or even let his name cross her mind when around Apollymi. The woman would instantly break out into tears, not that she could blame her though. As a result she knew nothing about the man aside from the fact that he was a good person, which was good enough for her.

" Come on, lets get going." Pushing herself off the wall she began to make her way back down the street, not at all concerned about the fight taking place right now. With Ash around there was nothing that could hurt the senshi so she had no reason to get involved.
 
Hotaru wouldn't stop though, now as Sailor Saturn she raced towards her goal. Taking herself to the rooftops drawing the attention of the people in the city. She didn't care though, she needed to get to The Forgotten Queen. She hadn't summoned her glaive yet, when the time came she would. She was more worried about getting there and finding out why the woman had awakened.

She narrowed her eyes, trying to pinpoint the source of the energy. As the energy sparked and spasmed, it was like it was a basic level senshi... testing out her reigns for the first time. Finding she couldn't... she couldn't control herself!

Haruka frowned as she took off after Hotaru, she knew Michiru and Setsuna where both in pursuit as well. Now as Sailor Uranus, she felt the heaviness of her Space Sword in her hand. She felt worried, more then worried, she felt desperate to get to their location on time. Chaos newly birthed, from a young woman that wasn't fully used to it.

Nothing could be that dangerous, it didn't help matters that she was also a bearer of Darkness. If they didn't get there in time, someone else could twist her for their means. Kogane was an odd Queen, and would make an odder senshi.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Kumori's head turned, there was that tall man. The one that made memories swirl through her like a mist. She gasped in pain, as she felt them dredge up. She twisted as one of the Daimon's grabbed her odangoe tail and yanked hard. "OW YOU FUCKER!" She stated as she shifted and kicked at his chest. Her hair was pulled more, but the thump of her boot and the crunch of a rib was evidently heard.

She twisted and raised her mirror again. "Dark Moon Flash!" She stated. There was a flash of energy and the Daimon fell into a pile of ashes. She ducked then and swept anothers feet from beneath him, and something popped into her mind. She twisted and grabbed up a broken wooden broom from nearby, and twisted to stab one of teh daimons in the chest. Yay, for inkblots.
 
And of course where ever Hotaru went Michiru and Setsuna would follow, the two of them now on rooftops themselves. Even though their intentions were good Setsuna didn't enjoy the fact that they were being watched by the people down below. Was it something that she should have been use to as a Senshi? Yep, it was. But for some reason she didn't think it was the peoples stares that were worrying her but something else. Something nonhuman...She just couldn't tell exactly what it was.

" There she is! She's ok. " Michiru pointed down below, Kumori and an oddly tall man down below fighting what appeared to be humans. Even though they looked that way there was an ominous feeling about them that lead her to believe otherwise. And by ok she meant not dead or out of control. Neither of which were good things.

Holding out her hand a small spheres of light appeared, taking the form of her Deep Aqua Mirror. " Submarine Reflection!" the glass of her mirror began to glow before a blast of energy shot through, going right through the chest of a Daimon, causing it to turn into dust instantly.

Watching carefully Setsuna summoned her Garnet Rod, a ball or purple energy forming immediately. " Dead Scream!" The ball shot forth, causing one of the female Daimons to turn into dust immediately. Alright, this seemed easy enough.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ash looked up immediately after hearing more shouts. Help from girls in mini skirts. He really had no reason to complain about it but it was more then a little out of the ordinary for New Orleans. Unless of course Artie was running around but she was more into getting into trouble then saving people from it.

Returning his attention to the scene at hand he was immediately grabbed by a Daimon, the collar of his shirt now wrinkled and and in the hands of another man. He didn't like that so much. " I really like this shirt tooo." With that being said he delivered a kick to the creatures groin, watching him drop before sending a gold bolt through his chest.
 
Hotaru leapt down, and waited for the other attacks to die out. She twisted her body and summoned her glaive, and then jabbed out at the chest of one of the Daimons. Her glaive met their chest and slipped through easily, the daimon exploded into dust. A satisfied sound left her lips as she gave a soft laugh and then turned towards the others that where now attacking them. "Pluto, Neptune... Guard the Queen..." She called out.

With that she slipped up alongside Acheron and knocked a Daimon back. "It has been many a month since I saw you Sir..." She commented lightly. Hotaru had run into Acheron while she had been protected in human form, by the Tokyo Dark-Hunter. She twisted and stabbed a Daimon straight through and then stared up at him. "Of course when last you saw me... I looked like a normal human..."

Haruka ducked an attack and then slashed at one of the Daimons. She felt the memory surfacing at such beings, they rarely left their island home, but she had run into a few back in Tokyo. "Neptune, Pluto, strike for the heart... It's those damnable ones we ran into... two weeks ago!" She called out as she stabbed one clear through. A bolthole like thing opened, and more of them poured out.

"Oh Hell!" She screamed as she ducked an attack. The Daimons seemed to be forming an assault on the dark haired female though. Going after the moon senshi more then anything, did her chaotic nature have anything to do with it? She hoped they weren't trying to steal her soul, stealing that soul could prove... catastrophic. In so many ways, it could cause problems for all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kumori ducked an attack, but one of the ones with the more warrior air snagged her. He grabbed her by her hair and pulled her close, knocking her wood from her hand and smirking at her. She shuddered at that look in the mans eyes. Her own widened as he leaned in and took a long sniff of her. "Dark Side of the Moon Queen, I remember your scent well..." The spathi said, his eyes narrowing on her. Kumori felt her heart slam in her throat.

Through his eyes then, she could see what really rode in the mans body. "Anubis..." She whispered in a fearful tone. She twisted hard then and tried to free herself. She kicked up straight into his balls, and he balled up. She screamed and grabbed the nearest item she could, and started to bash at the Daimon's skull. She was kicked back and hit the wall again, this time her head making a sickening crack. That was probably a skull fracture...
 
" Ma komatia..." A beautiful melodic voice entered Ai's head all of a sudden. To a normal person this may have seemed...odd, even a little freaky, but she wasn't normal. Instead of being startled by it she simply stopped in her tracks, looking around for a place to sit before making her way to a near by bench to take a seat.

" Naiea metera?"

" You know that I love you right?"

" Yes..."

" And you would do anything your metera asks right?"

" Welll..." As much as she would have loved to say it depended on exactly what she was doing she knew that wouldn't sit well with Apollymi. As a matter a fact it wouldn't sit at all. " Yes."

" Good. I need you to help..."

" How so?"

" Go heal the Queen and get rid of those Daimon. Please don't get bit yourself."

" I might be close to god hood but that doesn't mean I'm letting my guard down. But I'll get right on it." She could feel her mothers voice leave her mind and as soon as it did she let out a rasberry. She didn't want to go anywhere right now except home! But she knew her mother would blow quite a few fuses if she didn't listen to her. And that was the last thing anyone wanted, especially her. Not that she had a choice though, no matter how tired she was. Because her birthday was coming, she would be twenty for the first time in her three lives, she was getting drained of energy it would seem. Though as soon as new years day hit all that, and a little more, would come back and she would be something new. A goddess, or at least a demi god, and she couldn't wait! Until then she had work to do.

Standing up and making sure the area was clear she let out a small sigh, her eyes glowing a light green before a dark light enveloped her body. Within seconds she had disappeared, her body reappearing on top of the building about Kumori, the scouts, and Ash, cloaked in black. " Kura, Shiori, Aoi, Midori, and Kiiro, here, now." Five beautiful young women, or at least thats what they looked like, appeared before her. These five were her personal youma and never failed her. " You summoned us?" said the blue haired female, Aoi. " Yes. Take care of those Daimon for me. Don't let them touch the one with the weird energy, the female that is." " Yes ma'am." With that the five disappeared down below, immeditly getting to work.

" Now, my turn.." With that she phased down below, appearing by Kumori, her face hooded. " I'm not going to hurt you. Just sit here to do a little healing work and I'm on my way alright?" She placed her hand on the back of Kumori's head, a dim white light enveloping her hand and spreading over Kumori's body. Her healing ability was the only one that she could use outside of her senshi form, leaving her a little defenceless aside from the girls right about now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~​

" Understood!" Michiru understood her orders well enough but the problem was she was having a bit of trouble completing them. there were so many Daimon around, it was hard to get to the dark haired girl, which wasn't good. The queen shouldn't have been exposed to such a fight during her first time as a Senshi. Not when she wasn't prepared and wasn't trained to use her powers well enough. Sure she was doing fine but hopefully she wouldn't go out of control.

Turning her attention away from Hotaru Michiru began to fire blast after blast of her Submarine Reflection, wishing that she had some sort of weapon like Haruka did. A sword, a staff, a bow and arrow, something! It would have been a lot less tiring then firing energy beam after energy beam. It was all she had to work with right now so it would have to do unless someone knocked down a pipe or something within the next few minutes. Until then she would just have to use her mirror.

Setsuna fired another Dead Scream at a Daimon, striking it through the heart. Why did this seem so...endless? Turning around at the sound of a crack she noticed Kumori's sudden postion. " Kumori!" she plunged the end of her staff into the chest of a Daimon, moving to aid the queen, only to be stopped by three Daimon. " You bastards, move!" she hissed, obiously more upset then usual. Turning around she noticed something else, a woman. Her aura was...odd but not threatening, or at least in a way that would harm them this very second. She didn't have time to figure this out right now! Killing these things were one of her main concerns. Her second thing was why there were youma around, helping them. Or at least it seemed that way for the moment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~​

" That was you? Wait, no, scratch that..." He should have figured that. She didn't look to different from when she did then. The only thing was an outfit change and well, the powers. He wasn't exactly use to watching people go through a costume change just do use their abilities. Dark Hunters generally stayed in regular clothes, unless it was Widget....But that was an odd case and something Ash really didn't want to think about right this second.

" This may seem a little weird to ask but...Why are you here? This seems a little far from home and you and your family seem a little to...Well, it doesn't feel like you're here for regular reasons." There was to much tension around the four of them. Not for one another mind you but just in the air. It wasn't natural. Delivering another kick to a Daimon's chest to make him kneel over before kicking him once more, making him run into another one of his comrades. Not all that helpful when it came to destroying them but it was kind funny.
 
Kogane pushed herself up from the ground, blood pouring from her wounds. Her breath rattled in her chest as she walked across the battlefield. She watched her cousins demise, and stood in the shadows. Pain wracked her, as the tears poured down her cheeks. She had failed, she had failed and now almost all of the people she loved, were dead. Her hand pressed over her womb, she knew in her enlarged belly, the child was dead in her womb. She couldn't feel the pulse of her daughters life anymore. She grabbed up her sword, dragging it behind her as she stumbled towards where her Aunt was.

She was going to use the Silver Crystal, her mother had always said that it was dangerous to use any of the crystals. She stumbled towards her Aunt and crouched down, it was just before the crystal was used. She poured her energy into her Aunt, feeling the hiccup of pain rise in her chest. As she stood, she saw the silhouette of the Princess of Saturn, the Harbinger of Death and Destruction. "Saturn-sama... I don't want to live anymore... please take my life. Make sure my seed is safe, I don't want to be reborn unless I am needed. I don't want to be reborn unless I am needed, I don't want to remember this pain." She said, her throat felt raw, her dress felt heavy on her body. She pulled off her tiara and threw it away.

The black diamonds glittered in the pale and fading light, as she spread out her arms. Her head tilted back, black hair spiraling around her body as she gave a hiccup of pain. The pain in her chest was immense, the blade slammed through her, and her head snapped forward, she stared at the Senshi of Death, her lips pulled into a happy smile. This time it was tears of happiness that slipped from her eyes and down her cheeks.

She could at least see her child, though her love was forever gone. She would have her child to comfort her. With a sigh, and a faint rattle of breath, her world darkened, and she slipped into blissful oblivion. "Thank you Saturn-sama."


Kumori was beyond voices, and words. The only thing going through her mind at the moment was memories. Memories of her death, a memory that very few people should actually have to see. She shuddered as her body was healed, but it was the hiss of a breath between her teeth that showed she still heard and understood, mostly.


A wind snapped through the area, the sound of a low growl tearing through the air. The form of an eight foot tall winged figure swooped down into the alley. Snapping out wings of moonlight and darkness, the Charonte demon made his presence known. So long he had slept, waiting for her to come back. Waiting to apologize to his Akra, for leaving her in her time of need. For not being there to keep her from dying. From keeping her child from dying. Apollymi had been overjoyed that another child of Chaotic energies would be bornâ?¦ The unborn moon-daughters deathâ?¦ had stuck Charonte and Apollymi alike.

Now Krakus, one of the old ones was back. With eyes like quicksilver, and hair as dark as the night he could meld into. His skin was a marbled pattern of black and silverâ?¦ and he was pissed. He was pissed beyond all belief. He pushed past Haruka, the small blond woman being thrown to the side as Krakus grabbed a daimon up by itâ??s throat and tore it in half. â??Touch my Akra, the Planetary Guardians, or Acheron againâ?¦ and I will devour ALL OF YOU!â? He snarled. Pissed off Charonte, who wanted to argue with that?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Haruka's eyes widened as he was thrown to the side. gasping faintly as her whole worled spun for a moment. She regained her balanced and watched as the blond daimons all suddenly went paler then the silver on Krakus' wings. Her own widened, Krakus was supposed to be a legend. A Charonte demon that had been old when the Silver Millenium had STARTED. If he was still alive after so long, how old would he be now?

She turned towards her mate, and pulled Michiru back. Shuddering faintly as she watched the CHaronte rip a man in half like he was made of paper. SHe looked towards Hotaru, and Setsuna and then shook her head a little. There was someone healing the Queen that was all that mattered. She bowed her head respectfully towards the Charonte.

~~~~~~~~~~

Hotaru gave his a mysterious smile and then cocked her head to the side. "you couldn't read me, but there was reasons for that... wasn't there Acheron... pathways intwine as the final battle slowly rises in the horizon." She whispered as she turned to look towards the Charonte. "That would be Krakus, isn't he nearly ... yes... over fourty in appearance, and they age one charonte year for every thousand human years?" She whispered softly.

She stepped back and nodded to the woman healing Kumori. She herself would finish the healing shortly. "So Apollymi gave one of the Charonte in partnership to the Dark Side of the Moon... to be expected... they are a chaotic bloodline, she must think of Kumori as akin to an adopted daughter..." She mused faintly.
 
Even though she wasn't suppose to move or speak during a healing she she so anyway, not wanting her minions to get hurt. " Girl's leave, now!" The last thing she wanted was for her Youma to be ripped to shreds but an angry old Charonte. Being a Charonte was bad enough but being an angry, old Charonte called for trouble for anyone and everyone who got in the way. But as ordered the five girls disappeared back into the shadows, taking one more look at the horrifying sight before leaving the scene.

Ai shook her head as she felt a small crack beginning to form in her skull. Yep, that was in injury her mom wanted her to heal. Not like she could have been picky about it though, if Ai healed a person she healed all of them, not just one certain spot. If not for that she would have been away from here a few minutes ago sitting down somewhere and waiting for the wound to close up herself. Ai didn't just heal injuries but she transferred them onto her own body. Sometimes this could be a problem and others it was a good thing. Right now it was a little bit of both seeing how a crack was developing in her skull, giving her a headache all ready, but she had to stay put until she was all done. Any of the minor scratches or bruises that Kumori had gotten wouldn't bother her as much, they were nothing a hot bath couldn't take care of.

" Finished...." she removed her hand from the girls head, immediately going to the back of her own, crimson already intertwined with her blonde locks. " Here is my advice to you. The big injury is healed along with a few minor things but you will still have one hell of a headache so try to get some rest." Though tonight she had a serious doubt she would be able to. With Haruka, Setsuna, Michiru, and Hotaru here there was a lot to be explained to the young woman..But they might let her off easy tonight. After all, it was just the beginning of a long chain of events from this point forward, wasn't that hard to tell. Looking at her brother one final time she let out a soft sigh before phasing away from the scene, her body laid out on a bench a few blocks away.

'Did you do as I asked?'

' Yes metera. I'm finished.'

' Good girl...Thank you Imora.'

' You're welcome..'

Placing a hand on the back of her head she wondered if she should try to make her way home or let this thing heal. Sure she'd look like a injured hobo with the multiple cuts and then the small amount of blood seeping from her head but it would be a lot better then moving. Even though it was a little painful to do she was glad to serve her mother in any way possible, especially when it came to some one she cared about. After all, the woman had really bad luck with her loved ones, so might as well take care of them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~​

As much as Michiru wanted to run to her loved one once she was pushed aside like a rag doll she didn't. She had a feeling that Haruka liked her better alive then dead because she was in the wrong place for a split second. So she waited, and once the girl was up she quickly took a hold of her, not minding that Haruka had pulled her back so quickly. Last thing she wanted to do was be in the way of the demon.

Setsuna had finally cleared the Daimon out of her way and once she had she was beside Kumori right after the woman had left, a hand on her shoulder. " Do you think you can stand?" Sitting might have been the best thing right about now seeing how she was probably tired but once this entire thing was finished they needed to get out of the area and indoors somewhere. Somewhere where they could just rest and talk before anything crazy happened.
~~~~~~~~~~​

Should Ash have been amazed by the appearance of the old Charonte? Yeah, probably so. He had heard many things about it growing up the second time around, or once he had gained his god hood anyway. But he had never actually seen the old one. Now he was a little interested though, mainly because he had never seen an old demon before. It would have been - wait no, he couldn't think that right this second. Simi was on him and if she heard that she would probably have a fit...So stepping back he decided to let the Charonte do as it pleased, no use in stopping it. " Yeah...she tends to like kids who are destined to do something evil or chaotic for man kind."
 
(( I'm having a bit of writers block, do you mind if I step from this for a little bit and get back to it in a few days? ))
 
Kumori's eyes fluttered open, pain lacing her through the light that was trickling in. Her fuku faltered for a moment, and looked like she was wearing a royal gown. Then it faltered and returned to a solid senshi fuku. She groaned faintly and nodded to the woman that was speaking to her, she didn't hear much else now. She frowned as she felt a spray of blood hit her face, and then her eyes opened again and she turned to look.

"Krakus..." She whispered as she found herself pushing herself up and stumbling through the now fleeing Daimons. One made a grab for her, but was shocked by a dark energy that hung heavy around the female. She reached out and wrapped her arms around the tall Demons waist. "Krakus... return to me... return now!" She exclaimed. She gasped faintly when he gave a low and heavy growl. Then shifted and formed a black and silver butterfly pattern across her torso. That could be seen through the torn Fuku.

She smiled softly at Setsuna and nodded her head. "I am fine... " She murmured softly.

~~~~~~~

Haruka slowly stood up. Now that the Daimons where gone she approached her lover and wrapped her in her arms. "Ahhh Neptune..." She murmured softly. Burying her face in her lovers neck. "We are done now, now to take the Princess to safety..." She whispered softly looking at those around them. "Is there somewhere safe in this city? With a healer?" She asked lightly.

Hotaru turned her head towards Ash and grinned ear to ear. "Kogane was a Queen that was forgotten, her kingdom turned into Myth. That is why your mother cared for her... and gave her protection... Anyways... I believe there is one, I have heard of it, but do not know it's location.... I believe Acheron knows?" She commented lightly.
 
Where was the best place to take a group of injured and tired girls this late? Well the Sanctuary was an option but...that was a little on the loud side. Even so, it was the best place he could think of. He could have asked Ma'at, but there was the possibility of running into Nick. Judging by what the boy did a few minutes ago it was safe to say he was still angry at Acheron and still didn't want to be anywhere near him. As much as Ash wanted to resolve things with his friend he knew he had to give the boy time first. There was no point in rushing it.

" There is a place I can take you..It's a little out of the ordinary but the people there will take care of you guys. Not only that but its completely safe." No one would dare get into a fight or attack another person under Nicolette's roof, not unless they had a death wish of course. She was after all a bear, and had no problem harming anyone who tried to cause pain under her roof. That was a known fact.

Crouching down next to Kogane he brushed a strand of hair from her eyes, wondering weather or not he should pick her up and carry her. Best to let her decide that. " Do you think you can stand or would you rather have me carry you?"
~~~~~~~​

"Ma komatia..One last thing..."

What the hell could this woman possibly want now? Ai was already a little tired and head a headache that should have knocked her out at this point. Then again, thats what head injuries did to a person. "Yes..." there was a little bit of a hiss in her voice, showing how annoyed she was.

"Go some where and rest."

" I am resting."

" Not on a bench."

" But I'm-" she stopped, knowing that her mother wouldn't have her arguing with her over anything so there was no point to it. "Fine." Sitting up Ai placed a hand to the back of her head, the pain shifting already. " Tama-chan.." the little white fluff ball of a demon appeared next to her, licking at her ankle a bit. " Stop that...Anyway, think you can take me some where to get something to drink?" Within her two months of living here, and with her mother, she leaned a few things. One of which being, alcohol made the pain go away a whole lot faster then most other things.

Looking up at his owner and letting out a nod a small collar appeared around his neck and a leash in her hand, leading her to the nearest bar where his little monkey friend was. Or at least he was hoping Marvin was there, the money made pretty good company...Which was a little pathetic to think about.
 
Haruka protectively held Michiru to her, and stroked her fingers through her lovers hair. Anywhere that Acheron could think of, would be best. They needed a place that was full of safety. Someplace they could heal up, and worry about the end of the world coming. Crystal Tokyo would be rising soon, and when it did... There would be Chaos on Earth for ten years before.

The Battle of a Lifetime was rising, and when it came the only ones that could fight where the ones that knew how. It would be a fight for the survival of the human race. It would end just like Atlantis did, the world undergoing a major reconstruction. The first piece to the unlocking of the Chaos, lay upon the girls neck. That locket, that Crystal... Could be considered a Key.

Hotaru stared at the man, her heart crying out for him. If anyone knew what he had gone through, it was the Senshi of Death and Rebirth. He had undergone that more then anyone else ever had the right to go through. It was torture for the poor man. Her head turned as she looked at the young Queen, that Acheron had actually tenderly brushed hair back on.

They would make a powerful couple, and if Kumori turned to darkness... Acheron probably would be the only one that could truly destroy her. Because when she fully awakened, it would be like his mother was on earth. That's why they needed to get Kumori in control, then and now. They needed to get her to fall in love again, the best control was that of a lovers holding unto you and helping lead you. "Sanctuary, would probably be our best bet." She whispered softly.

Kumori yanked away when the man brushed her hair back. An image of a blond haired, and oddly eyed male flashing in her vision. Her eyes widening as she felt her grip on reality slip for a moment. Tears filling her eyes as memories hit her like a battering ram between the eyes. The images continued to flash through her mind, as she flinched faintly.

Sorrow and pain filling her eyes, as she looked down. Her hands pressing over the butterfly pattern. Now in civilian clothing, she couldn't easily see Krakus upon her skin. But she could feel him moving uncomfortably. "No, thank you... Ap... Thank you..." She whispered as she cleared her throat. Pushing off the wall and walking a few steps. But all things came at a cost, and her power when used was a powerful thing.

Her legs gave out after a few steps, and resulted in a panting and pissed off female. The pain in her chest increased, as if a part of her was crying out and reaching for the man with long hair. She knew what was behind those sunglasses of his. Eyes that drew her in, she didn't desire him because he was attractive him... No she desired him because a part of her knew the truth. A truth she probably wouldn't accept for awhile.
 
Michiru had to admit, now that things had calmed down a bit and she had time to think she was...scared. Things were already bad with Mamoru missing and the youma acting up again. But now there were two more things to worry about. These things called Daimons and the fact that the queen had awakened. It was the second of those two things that scared her the most, if she wasn't gotten under control immediately then things could go from bad to worse very quickly.

" Yeah, you're probably right..." He responded to Hoartu's words. Ash couldn't help but to wonder what he did to make her seem so...repulsed of him. As of yet he had done nothing that should have caused her to have any disdain of him but it seemed she wasn't all that comfortable with him near her. After all it wasn't natural that a girl yanked away from him and tried to get away from him, or at least thats what it seemed like.

Opening his mouth to say something he stopped, listening as the girl spoke. Was she really that determined to do this on her own? He couldn't understand why though. " Are you..." he stopped briefly, his mind going back to something she said. Or what she started to say. Apostolos, did she start to say Apostolos? No...No, that wasn't possible, it just wasn't. There was no way she could have known about that. Hell, there was no way anyone should really know about his other name with the exception of a few other people.

But he watched her, shaking his head a bit. It was a painful sight really, watching her struggle like that. Trying to be strong but failing. He, like the four other girls here, and the one that appeared eariler, were only trying to help her. As a result he couldn't understand understand why she treated him so differently. " Come on, let's get you guys to Nicolette's place so she can heal you guys up.." Walking over to Kumori the black haired man reached down, picking her up and placing her on his back. " This way guys." He said as he started down the street, luckily the Sanctuary wasn't so far away and only about five or ten minutes down the street.

" My, my, what were you doing to get an injury like this cher? I thought I told you to stay out of trouble." " I know you did but trouble always seems to find me one way or another." " Oh really now? And just what bit of trouble found you and gave you these scrapes and this gash in the back of your head?" As much as Ai would have loved to tell the woman the truth she knew she couldn't. As far as the mama bear was concerned Ai, or Imora, she didn't know why but she felt compelled to tell Nicolette her real name instead of her nick name the first time they met, was a human who simply had knowledge of all things that went bump in the night. She didn't know how the woman had come to that conclusion but Imora didn't decide to tell her if she was right or wrong and wasn't sure why. Maybe because Mama was one of the first people to ever treat her with some kind of kindness and care for her and she was afraid of ruining that.

Tapping her fingers lightly against her leg she frowned, not sure what to tell her exactly. Yeah...I just went to go aid a queen, took away most of her injuries because my mom, who is a goddess by the way, told me to and saw my brother in the process. He really is a pretty man. I wonder what he's like, you talk to him don't you? Because saying all of that would go over so well with the female bear. Not. So she decided to lie.

" If you haven't noticed I am shorter then the average person should be. But Tama was playing around where I keep the knives and while I was trying to get them they kinda fell on me..." Lame yes, but it would have to work. " They fell on you hm?" The mother bear shook her head, more then skeptical of the girls reasoning. " Well no matter what the reason you're all wrapped up now. Let's try not to make this a habit ok?" " Yes ma'am." Ai hopped out of her seat, stretching out and grabbing her strawberry daiquiri from off of the counter. She wasn't sure which was making her feel better. The fact Nicolette had wrapped her up nicely or the alcohol. Probably both.
 
Hotaru nodded faintly, looking at the other senshi. The outers seemed to refer to her a lot in these situations. "The Key, to the End is around her neck. If it comes down to matters, we may need Acheron to kill her at some point and time." She said to the other senshi, her eyes holding sorrow. Crystal Tokyo could not happen without hell on earth though. Destruction would rise, and from it would rise Neo Queen Serenity.

Kumori stared at the man, anger flaring on her features. She was not a child she was... she was confused. Golden eyes closed as the tears slipped free, her vision fading. The man picked her up, and she knew no more. Her mind slipping into the memories, the memories of when she was a Princess. The times when her Prince had taken her to Atlantis...


"Come along now Kogane." The dark haired male before her whispered. His voice like sugar and velvet. It rubbed her in all the right places. "We are going to visit Atlantis again today, would you like to try Acheron our today?"

A shudder raced up the females spine. She was clad in a simple black gown, and with her pendant of her crystal around her throat, few people knew exactly whom she was. They knew she was royalty from her dress, and the tiara upon her forehead. Her hair was allowed to fall loose, and her gown was loose around her belly. Which was already beginning to show her pregnancy. For a first, it was getting rather big, perhaps she was having twins?

She walked into the room with her lover, and the tears jumped to her eyes. She bit her lip and looked around. "I wish the time with Acheron this time, please Damian love... " She said as she braced her hand on Damian's arm. "I wish to have him to myself this time, and tell them to please close up the peep holes, I wish privacy." She quivered inside as she watched him smile that smile at her and walk out.

Karakus moved uncomfortably on her belly, as she crouched beside the male. Her features stretching in pain. "Shhh I won't hurt you... I swear it on my life, I'll never hurt you." She whispered as she gathered all the energy in her body and began to heal his back. It was light brushes, like the wings of a butterfly. Soon his back and his body was whole. He reached for her and...

The memory shattered as the girl spasmed on Acheron's back. During her passed out time, her mind was fully open, and if he had been looking he would know the truth.
 
Michiru shook her head at the mere thought of it. She couldn't ask that of the man, she had a serious doubt that any of them could ask that of the man. " Hotaru...I can't go through something like that again, I can't witness something like that again..." she frowned, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. " At all costs we need to make sure that it does turn out in the worst way possible, at least not for her." she had no doubt that chaos would occur on Earth, hell even, and that in the mist of it all the Queen would rise and restore the hopes of the people. She just didn't want Kumori to be the center of that hell.

Sighing Setsuna reached over, stroking Michiru's hair lightly. " That's the last thing that any of us wants. But if it happens it happens. We can't stop it if it does and we have to play our parts when the time comes, if the time comes." Even though she wanted to keep her personal feelings and thoughts away from the matter she had to admit, she didn't want anything bad to befall the girl, not again. No one deserved to have multiple unhappy endings.

Acheron looked behind him at the four girls still talking. Even though he wanted to listen in on them and wonder exactly what they were talking about, he knew that he could, he didn't. That would have been in invasion of privacy, though when did he start caring about that in people? Seriously, it was odd. " Girls...This way." he said softly, trying not to disturb Kumori.

Nodding Setsuna looked at the other three. Hopefully this would all work out in the end and nothing bad would befall Kumori. But that wish alone would probably take all the hoping in the world and then some...And then a lot actually. " Come on girls." she said softly, following behind the currently black haired male.

" That hurts!" " Stop complaining, your the one that had knives fall on you remember? If it wasn't for your clumsiness then you wouldn't be going through this little bit of pain." Alcohol, no matter how much the amount, on any open wound hurt like hell for anyone, so Ai had no idea what the woman was talking about when she said 'a little but of pain'. " Yeah ri-" she stopped, a feeling over taking her body. What in the world..." Ash..." she murmured, eyes widening a bit. When ever her brother was around an odd feeling over came her body, and she had been feeling it a lot these past few months and when ever she did she fled. She didn't know why but for some reason she didn't want her brother to know she existed.

" Mama can I hide behind the counter, please?" She knew the woman would look at her oddly, and she did just that. " Why?" "Just please!" " Ok, ok, you better explain why later." With that the girl hopped over the counter, leaning back against some of the glasses and breathing slowly. This really was a little cray but she couldn't help bit.

Entering the Sanctuary the man looked around for Mama Bear, finding her at the counter. " Nicolette." the man made his way over to the woman, looking down at the small amount of medical supplies there. Just what had she been doing? " What do you need?" It was then that she looked on his back though, " What happened?" " I'll explain later. Mind if I borrow a room though?" " No, not at all, go ahead and take her up to one. I'll be there in a few minutes." Nodding to the woman he headed up to the next floor, entering one of the spare rooms and lying Kumori down gently.
 
Kumori groaned faintly as he set her down. Her mind whirling as she fought not to get sick. She had used too much power, she realized that now. Her poor human body was not used to the power that her Lunarian spirit could wield. Too much power, not the right body. Until her Princess form was unlocked, she wouldn't be a lunarian. It was like a God awakening to their powers, it took something special. In this case, Kumori needed her princess form.

She was almost sick, almost, but then Krakus fluttered on her abdomen. With that a flushing of pleasure raced through her, not sexual but a sort of pleasure that made her feel warm and fuzy. With that happened, her illness faded. She sighed and spread her fingers over her belly. Remembering the times she had visited the boy from her visions. The boy that had reveled at the life growing in her womb.

She had stopped going to earth when she was about six months along, two days before the attack on her kingdom. Two days after she promised the boy that when she returned she would steal him away to her kingdom. She needed to stop this, she didn't want to remember all this. Remembering it made the pain come back like a knife between the ribs. The pain of realizing that her daughter was still dead. Her Prince was dead, and even though people would surround her, she was still alone.

Hotaru watched Acheron and Kumori with shadowed eyes. Turning towards the other senshi she held out her arm. "Haruka-Papa, Michiru-Mama, and Setsuna-mama... " She whispered in her misty sort of mysterious voice. The one she got when she was whispering something important. "I think it's best we leave these two to their own devices. The threads of fate are being intwined and our path is not here aright now. Let us go eat, and speak on matters that need to be spoken of." She whispered softly.
 
" Is there any specific reason why you're behind the counter like that?" " Already asked her that." Ai frowned as she listened to Remi's question and Mama's answer. She didn't really have a good reason as to why she was behind the counter. She had a pretty weird excuse but not a good reason. " No, not really. Not at all actually." Or there wasn't a reason that she could explain, or rather felt like explaining. " Just like randomly jumping behind counters. Its kinda what I do.." standing up the girl jumped back over the counter, taking a seat once more at the bar, her fingers tapping lightly against the wood.

She could feel them better then she could before, the senshi, Ash, and the other woman. The queen. And as much as her instincts were telling her to get out of here and leave she couldn't. Actually no, she didn't want to. She didn't know why but she had a compelling need to stay. Stupid odd feelings that she couldn't figure out. " You ok? You look kinda down all of a sudden." Ai blinked as Mama's voice interrupted her thoughts, shaking her head in response. " No, I think I'm good, I should probably be heading out in a few minutes though...Try to go home and get some sleep or something." she didn't know why she was kidding, she could never fall asleep this early.

Well not like Michiru could disagree with that. As much as she wanted to sit and talk to Ash for a few minutes she couldn't. Right now wasn't the right time. " Alright, that doesn't sound like a bad idea at all." Taking a hold of Hotaru's hand she looked around for Setsuna, the girl had disappeared it seemed. Where had she gone off to now? " Let's go see what this place has to eat." Even if they had things she didn't like she would still eat it anyway. She was to hungry to be picky and to tired to go anywhere else and eat.

Setsuna had actually made her way downstairs, deciding to look around. But it wasn't for the sake of wanting to find her way around but she was looking for someone. And thats when she spotted her, a certain blond headed woman. Looking more like a little girl, but what ever. " Thank you for earlier." the woman took a seat behind the injured young woman, her eyes on the multiple bottles of alcohol in front of her opposed to anything else. Even though she wasn't much of a drinker something stiff wouldn't sound to bad right about now. " What are you talking about?" Ai turned her attention from her little pet playing behind the counter with a monkey to the green haired woman. " What are you talking about?" " You don't have to act like you know what I'm talking about but just know that I thank you anyway."

Ash pulled up a chair beside Kumori's bed side, a frown on his face. He had tried reading this woman so many times now but he couldn't and that worried him greatly. He hadn't ran across many people that he couldn't read and when he it freaked him out. Was it possible he knew a family member of hers? Maybe he would become close to her? Hopefully not. The last thing he wanted was for anyone to get close to him. He had let Nick do that and he ended up killing the boy, his mother had suffered the same fate, and a multitude of other things. Those who got close to him ended up having a terrible fate. He couldn't stand it.

Tapping his fingers lightly against his leg he looked down at the raven haired woman. She looked so familiar, like a person he had met thousands, if not almost millions of years ago. She reminded him of so much, brought back memories of a lot of things. Most of which he didn't want to remember. Because the person in those memories got close to him and like everyone else that close to him suffered a terrible fate. Maybe the girl was a decedent? Anything was possible after all.
 
Hotaru drew the other females from the room, Haruka close on their tail she could feel it. Her eyes stared ahead as she sighed softly. "The Daimon's will start hunting her soon. Her soul is powerful, so powerful." She whispered in a soft tone. "She is safe with Acheron, not even the gods would try and hurt her now." She whispered lightly as she walked over towards a table. Watching the people running around.

The daughter of the owners, Amy was the one to come over. "What can I get all of you." She asked cheerfully.

"Whatever your house serves best, we are foreigners, and enjoy the taste of new and exciting food." Haruka was the one to speak up, winking at the female playfully as she leaned in to kiss Michiru's cheek. "We will be fine... We are a family, and if we have to we will bring Serenity over..." She whispered lightly.

"Acheron..." Kumori whispered softly, her eyes fluttering open. How could she tell him, what could she tell him. A part of her, that burning dark part of her knew that he was a God. Someone well and far above the soft heart of a mortal. Far and well above even the powers of a Lunarian Queen. "I'm so... so sorry..." She whispered. The pain evidently was overflowing. She really couldn't take the way she was feeling right now.

"I was going to come back..." She said in a choked tone. There was the truth in the air. It wasn't a descendant, it was the woman. Reborn and now awakening in a world that might very well kill her for what she was. "I tried... I tried... "
 
Michiru sighed as she sat down, looking at the two women beside her. " She might be safe with him but some one is going to try and go after her no matter who she's with." some people were just that stupid after all. But no matter what happened they still needed to watch over the girl, in her opinion any way. If something happened to the queen well...Michiru didn't know what she would do.

" Hey," Michiru reached over, nipping her lovers cheek playfully, " You only wink at me and me only, got it?" She smiled, leaning against the other woman, closing her eyes. Bringing Serenity over was an option but...with Mamoru missing she was pretty sure the only thing the queen wanted to do was spend her time looking for her beloved. But if help was needed the woman wouldn't turn away.

Ai looked at the green haired woman, frowning a bit. " I'm not going to harm your precious queen if that's what your wondering." " I know you aren't." So then why was she still here and what did she want to know? It must have been something. " So then what? There has to be something buzzing around in your head or you still wouldn't be here." " I'll ask my question later..." Ai sighed as she watched the woman get up and make her way towards her friend, a little annoyed now. What could the woman possibly want to know about her?

The man was brought out of his thoughts as he heard his name, his silver eyes glancing down at the woman. He could feel it as she spoke...the fact that her voice was so pain ridden and saddened. What could a mere mortal have in their heart to feel so much pain over? He couldn't help but to wonder. " What are you apologizing for?" He reached over, his fingers brushing lightly against her skin as he moved a strand of hair behind her ear.

It was then that she said those six words, those six words that confirmed it all. She wasn't a descendant or a look alike, she was the real deal. She was the lunarian queen. With that coming to mind a multitude of emotions arose all of a sudden. Pain, anger, sadness, things he hadn't felt in ages. It took him a minute to sort the words out in his head, trying to figure out just what he would say. " It's alright. There was nothing you could have done about it."
 
"Not in Sanctuary" Hotaru said in her now usual misty tone. Leaning back she looked around the establishment they where in. "If they do, they'll have one very pissed off God-... on their hands." she said in a light tone. How did she know so much about the world? She was merely a child. But it came from her gift, as the Senshi of Death and Destruction and Rebirth. Her eyes slid closed as she slumped and relaxed, her hands folded in her lap.

Haruka laughed softly at her love-mates actions. Chuckling and nuzzling Michiru lightly. "We will do what needs to be done, to insure Crystal Tokyo Rises..." She said in a matter of fact tone. Her eyes closing partially as she awaited the arrival of the food. She was starting to get a feeling these Daimons had something to do with Mamarou's disappearance. She let her mind continue to twist and turn while she relaxed.

Kumori watched as he tucked her hair back, the pain increasing. Like a stab wound almost, a part of her wanted to reach out to him. But another part screamed there was no male for her but her mate. Her Prince, whom was gone for good. Never to return again. She bit her lip hard, as she looked away. Pain of the soul, overcame pain of the heart. It was almost a Physical wound, and she felt as if she didn't deserve to even look at him.

She barely knew him now, but the boy she remembered. She wanted to cradle and protect so much. He had been younger then her, but she had cared none the less. Now she was younger then him, by many years. That burning darkness of her told her as so much. "I could have, I could have." She whispered her voice shaking. She looked back, her eyes flashing. "I could have returned sooner to retrieve you..." She whispered softly.

"I could have asked.. Da-" She stopped partially through her Prince's name. The pain welling up like a fountain. Gone! For Good, never to return! Worse then being a Shade!
 
Setsuna made her way back to the others, taking a seat on the empty side of Hotaru. Even though she knew it was a bad idea there was a part of her that wanted to go up there and check on Kumori. she knew the girl was in safe hands with Ash but still, she couldn't help but to be concerned. After finding the queen the last thing she wanted to happen was something bad. And sure, as long as Ash was around the girl was safe. But it would probably only take one moment, that one moment that he was away for what ever reason for something to happen. It was only a matter of time after all.

Michiru sighed, nodding in agreement with her lover. "We don't have to much of a choice there now do we?" There was no doubt that the woman wanted to see the rise of Crystal Tokyo as much as the other three girls here did. But the blood shed that would be involved...that was something she wasn't looking forward to. But if it needed to be done then it needed to be done. She was a woman of duty, just as much as the other three scouts that sat at here, and couldn't allow anything to get in the way of her mission. She didn't do it many years ago and she certainly wasn't going to do it now.

Taking a sip of her drink Ai looked around the bar area, her little pet no where in sight. There was nothing more she wanted to do then high tail it out of here but that wouldn't be happening any time soon it looked like. Not until her little demons decided to crawl into her lap and fall asleep. Reaching behind her she lightly touched the bandage on her head, frowning a bit at the feeling of blood. Was the queen really hurt that badly? If that was the case from one simple fight the senshi really needed to teach the girl how to fight, or hopefully she'd remember it all during the course of battle. Last thing she wanted, or well her mother wanted it seemed, was for the young queen to get hurt.

" It's..." he wanted to say it was ok. That everything was ok back then but it wasn't. But it was probably best that they didn't get close. After all, she , like every one else, would have probably started craving him in that way everyone else did. " It's alright. Things happen and there was nothing you could do about any of it." Which was true, death did put a hamper on peoples plans most of the time. "Besides, my sister came to take care of me shortly after..." Though that still didn't turn out for the best.
 
Hotaru looked to the side, a morose look overcoming her as she smiled sweetly and sadly. "Many lives will be lost in the times to come. The Destroyer will rise, and from the ashes of destruction... The crystal may be used to make Crystal Tokyo come about. The Destroyer must only freeze lives and destroy the realm... Which she will come to understand. She needs the frustration relief of destruction. Something she will attain."

Haruka shuddered at the mention of a Goddess that even the senshi feared to mess with. Though at their highest peaks the Queens of the planets where Goddesses in their own rights, you rarely messed with Primordial descendants. It's why Hotaru and Setsuna where the strongest senshi, next to Sailor Moon. Of course that was why no one messed with Kyoko, some said she was Setsuna's mother. No one really knew. The senshi of Memory was one crazy senshi.

Kumori pushed herself to sit up, her hands pressing to the chocker on her neck. Sighing softly as she fingered the locket. She listened to him speak and pushed away the emotions welling within. She wasn't meant to be with anyone, so she wouldn't even give into other emotions. "I am still sorry I failed." She whispered lightly. Then she went still. "But now I realize, had I brought you to the moon... someone would have started a war..." She whispered softly.
