Chapter Twelve




"If you will all power down, I will show you to your rooms. I know you would probably like a change of clothing and become more relaxed," Pagan said quietly, watching the Scouts admire the room.

"Our Rooms?" Sailor Venus asked.

"Yes, all who served my Aunt Serenity and myself within the moon kingdom had a room within this house," Pagan said quietly. The senshi all looked at one another and detransformed at one time, followed by tuxedo mask, until the only one still 'empowered' was the Marian Knight.

"You too Yuuchiro. Why not let the Sailor Senshi see who they have been calling friend all these years?" Tal'lan smirked as he said this. After giving the panther an evil glare, the knight of mars sighed silently and placed his right hand over his left wrist.

With a swirl of flame, where once stood the majestic Marian Knight, now stood a man the scouts would have recognized anywhere, his chocolate brown eyes, shining brightly with barely concealed power, and grace behind his long bangs, his dark brown hair falling freely over his blue-jean Jacket collar. "Chad!!!" gasped the young women, while Darien remained silent, though still very much as surprised as the others.

Looking at her friends Serena could see the shock on all her friend's faces, especially Rei's. Quirking half a smile at the girls, Chad slightly nodded his head to the group before turning to a smiling Pagan. Two steps were all that was needed for Pagan to be in his embrace, hugging him tightly. "By the moon, Chiro, I never thought I'd see you again," Pagan said softly kissing his cheek, pulling back just enough to look into his eyes.

"Pagan you should have known that we'd remeet one day... ALL of us... Besides, you know full well, that if you had wanted you could have summoned us all to you," Chad lectured softly.

"Pagan? how do you know Chad?" Serena asked as puzzled as the others.

Turning to look at her cousin, Pagan grinned and answered "Serey Kitty, you may know him as "Chad" but the man who stands before you was known as the Infamous Yuuchiro of the Planet Mars. He is a highly titled nobleman of Mars, Leader of my protectors, esteemed member of my court... and my half brother... which protected him from Marian Rule."

"Your Brother!" The others exclaimed.

"Yes... Pagan and I are siblings... or Half actually.. Back on the moon, her mother and my father married and together they had Pagan."

Holding out her hand to Serena, Pagan said "Come here Serena..."

Taking Pagan's hand, Serena was suddenly pulled in a strong tight embrace. "Finally.... After one Thousand years I finally get to be with my family again...." Pagan said in a soft, overly emotional voice.

Both Serena and Chad wrapped their arms around the 21 year old woman and hugged her tightly, suddenly realizing how alone their beloved sister/cousin had been. A loud clearing of a masculine throat broke the tender moment. Gazing around, the three saw Tal'lan standing close to them, his Dark Green eyes shining with his usual predatory power and grace.

"As pleased as I am that my love has regained her lost family, I believe that the others would like to have a change of garments and to perhaps become more comfortable. Then we can get down to the business of the Youma attack tonight."

"TaL, you can be such a slave driver, but as usual your right.... I apologize everyone for making you wait. If you would just follow me, as I have said, I will show you to your bed chambers." With that, Pagan and Tal silently lead the others up the stairs to the doors Serena had once seen before.
