So I’m up to chapter 2. You guys seem to enjoy the pairing…I’m happy. Tasuki: Well are you going to start the story or not? JL: Shut Up, Fang Boy. By the way…there is a background song to this chapter. It’s called Kaze no Uta ‘or’ Melody of the Wind. It’s the song that played when Nuriko dies. Well here it is… stop I was dreaming: a beautiful, eternal dream... stop ...putting sadness into a deep, quiet sleep. If you were touched by kindness, you must have been happy, but Time moves on. My heart pounds. In the wind I can hear someone's voice calling. Rushing passionately through this body, this heart, Life is now awakening. stop People are weak, aren't they? They fight and hate each other. stop But love, of all things, can surpass everything. My fate pulls me onward... certainly towards you. That smiling face, those tears, everything about you... I'll turn them into just one source of courage. And I'll never even be afraid of getting hurt. I'll protect you. I'll show you that I will. ah... For the first time, I understand... ah... ...the meaning of my birth. You shine on this body, this heart, As the one and only proof of my life. That smiling face, those tears, everything about you... I'll protect you. I'll show you that I will. Nuriko: That song makes me cry. JL: Don’t cry…it’s bad for the complexion. Tasuki: Two dim witted women. JL: I am the only woman here, now shut up. Tasuki: Make me. Nuriko: Stop it, can’t you be in the same room without fighting? JL: Gomen. Tasuki: No we can’t. JL: Chichiri was supposed to do the disclaimer for me. I need someone else. Duo: ::pops up out of nowhere:: I’ll do it! JL: This isn’t your fic. Duo: Aww, man. ::Walks way:: Nuriko: I’ll do it. Juppy doesn’t own SM, FY, or GW…the boys just like interrupting her during this so I have to add them too. So don’t sue her or you’ll have to deal with me…and I’ll steal Tasuki’s tessen and burn you too. Tasuki: No you won’t. Nuriko: I want the tessen. Tasuki: YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TESSEN. JL: Ok now that was almost a quote from a movie…I didn’t have that in the disclaimer…watch it boys. Nuriko: Gomen. Tasuki: Yeah what he said. JL: ::sigh:: On with the show. “Koto-chan, where are you?” Uranus yelled. “Makoto!” Came a yell from the opposite direction. “That’s the others. We have to look for her ourselves.” Uranus said still looking. “Why don’t we just join with them?” Nuriko asked. “Listen to me now, Riko-chan. The inner and outer scouts don’t blend well. It’s our different ways. Koto-chan is different. She is the only one capable of pulling both groups together. With out her there, we don’t interfere.” Uranus explained. “That’s not exactly team work.” Nuriko pointed out. “We were given two different missions. We all protect the princess, but the inners are her guards, the outers protect the solar system. Jupiter is both, but got suckered into being a guard. She’s the only one that we have any outside contact with, except for the princess.” Uranus said. “Still, isn’t a team supposed to work together. I’ve learned that if you go off on your own, you will fail.” Nuriko said, remembering how long it took him and his friends to finally figure that one out. “It has been this was for thousands of years.” Uranus said. Nuriko paused. “Thousands of years, you don’t look a day over 20.” “Rebirth.” Uranus answered. “Now come on, we have to find Makoto.” The two searched high and low finding no trace of Makoto anywhere. They had finally met up with Saturn and Neptune who had been listening in on the other scouts. “They have no idea either. Even Mercury can’t find her with the computer.” Neptune stated. “What about you’re mirror?” Uranus asked. “I tried that. The only this I see is a time rift.” Neptune said. “Then we must talk to Pluto.” Saturn said. “Talk to me about what?” Said a regal voice. “Puu-mama, Makoto’s disappeared.” Saturn told her. “I am aware of this. Good to see you Ryuuen, or should I say Nuriko. I’ve been busy lately so I haven’t had the time to come visit. I am Pluto.” She said. “How did you know my name?” Nuriko asked. “I control time. I can change the past to make sure the correct future is on course.” She replied. “Do you know where Makoto is?” He asked. “So you do feel a need to protect her.” She thought to herself smiling. “She was taken into a different dimension.” “How do we get her back?” Uranus said. “Do not worry. She will be back later tonight. I’m sure you know of the dimension she is in.” She said pointing to Nuriko. “She could get killed there.” Nuriko said, thinking about what Tasuki would do with another woman running around. “Do not worry. Come I’ll take you to the place she will be arriving and there we can discuss what you actually are.” Pluto stated. The small group nodded. “What about the inners?” Saturn asked. “They are already on their way.” Pluto informed. “Where am I?” Makoto said trying to sit up. “Stay still, you had a bad concussion.” Said a masculine voice. “Who are you?” Makoto asked, not listening to his words. “My name is Mitsukake. I’m a healer.” He answered. “Can you tell me where I am?” Makoto asked, looking to the tall man in front of her. “You are at the palace of the emperor of the Konan Empire.” He answered. “WHAT! I have to get home. Kuso, what have I gotten myself into this time.” She said putting her hand to her head. “Please rest. You lost quite a bit of blood, and I don’t know how you did it, but even without my power, you healed yourself.” He said confused. “I’m going to get someone that might be able to tell you a bit more. She’s my miko, Miaka.” And with that Mitsukake left the room. Makoto looked to see she was naked, which didn’t bother her, she was not afraid of her body. She looked around to find her clothes washed and folded neatly at the end of the huge bed. She stood to get dressed and was about to go exploring when a kasa came flying from nowhere, and landed at here feet. She was about to pick it up, when a man emerged. “Can’t have you walking around the palace by yourself, no da.” He said. Makoto got into a defensive stance. “Who are you?” She asked. “My name is Chichiri and I am one of Miaka’s seishi, no da.” He replied. “How did I get here?” Makoto asked standing up straight. “We’re not sure, but Miaka may be able to tell you more, no da.” Chichiri said. “I might. Hi my name is Miaka.” Makoto looked to the small girl in front of her. She looked so much like Usagi…if she had short brown hair. “My name is Makoto.” Makoto said bowing. “Come in and sit. Chichiri is just here to listen in. You must be wondering where you are. You are inside of a book called the Universe of the Four Gods. You must have opened the book and started to read it.” Miaka stated. “No actually I was sitting in the park and a yoma attacked me.” Makoto informed. “Really? Where are you from?” Miaka asked. “Tokyo, Japan.” Makoto said. “Really, what year?” Miaka asked puzzled. “The year is 2002.” Makoto said. “So I’ve been gone from home for a few years. Tell me, have they found the real identity of Sailor Moon?” Miaka asked, desperate for news on her homeland. “You know of Sailor Moon?” Makoto asked. “I was originally from Tokyo. I was brought here a few years ago to become the Suzaku no Miko.” Miaka said. “Will you ever be going home?” Makoto asked. “Probably not. I love my life here.” Miaka said. “Well no, no one has figured out the identity of the Scouts, but if you can keep a secret…I can tell you who they are.” Makoto said smiling. “REALLY! Wait how do you know?” Miaka asked. Makoto smirked. “Jupiter Crystal Power Make-Up.” Soon Jupiter stood in front of Miaka. “Wow, you’re Sailor Jupiter.” Miaka said astonished. “Jupiter at your service, although I would like to get home to my princess.” Jupiter stated. I also have a few friends that will be worried. I know Ruka-chan and Nuriko-chan will be worried.” Jupiter said. “Nuriko?” Miaka asked. “Nuriko is alive?” “I just met him today, but he seemed alive to me.” Jupiter said confused. Miaka started to cry and ran out of the room. “Was is something I said?” Jupiter asked Chichiri. “Nuriko was one of her seishi. He died a few months ago, no da.” Chichiri said. “I had no idea. We can’t be sure if this is the same person or not.” Jupiter said. “His real name Ryuuen, no da?” Chichiri said. “Yeah.” Jupiter said. “Then it is the same osage báka.” Said a man from the door. He has fire red hair and carried a tessen. He also had small fangs. “Mind telling me who you are?” He asked. “Tasuki, don’t start, no da.” Chichiri said. “Listen to me, you little fanged báka. I don’t know what you want…but your anger is pissing me off.” Jupiter said. “I should light you on fire.” Tasuki said. “Wouldn’t hurt.” Jupiter said. “REKKA SHINEN!” Tasuki yelled and fire came from the tessen. “I told you it doesn’t hurt me. I’ve grown immune from Mar’s misses at target practice. Now try this. Supreme Thunder Dragon.” A large electrical dragon shot from her fingers and engulfed Tasuki. There was no scream of pain, but when the dragon disappeared Tasuki was twitching on the floor. “So there.” Jupiter said as she stuck her tongue out and pulled the bottom lid of her eye down. “That’s enough.” Said another man. He was dressed in royal garb. “My name is Hotohori. I am the emperor.” He said. “Miaka ran past me crying, did you do that to her?” He asked slightly angered. “It wasn’t her fault, she informed Miaka that Nuriko is alive in her world, no da.” Chichiri said. “Nuriko is alive?” Hotohori asked. “Hai!” Jupiter exclaimed. “And she didn’t use the book to get here, no da.” Chichiri added. “And I want to go back to my princess.” Jupiter said sadly. “She clicked open her communicator and started calling to Pluto. “Pluto if you hear me answer me dammit.” “That’s not the way you should talk to me Koto-chan.” Pluto said over the communicator. “Gomen, but how am I getting home?” Jupiter asked. “I’m sending someone for you.” Pluto stated. “Mako-chan?” came a voice over the communicator. “Are they around?” Hotohori grabbed Jupiter’s wrist. “Nuriko, are you ok?” “Hotohori-sama?” Nuriko asked timidly. “I’m sorry Hotohori, but your answer to your second question must be no. He can not come back. He was reborn in this world. Granted his memories of all of you should have been erased, but there is nothing I can do for that.” Pluto said. “Pluto send me home.” Jupiter pleaded. “You messenger should be there by now.” Pluto said. Wailing could be heard down the halls. “Pluto you didn’t.” Jupiter pleaded. Usagi ran into the room and tackled Jupiter. “Oh Mako-chan I’m so sorry about before. I had nothing to do with it. Please forgive me. Don’t hate me.” Usagi said really fast, then proceeded to cry none stop. The group around her sweat dropped. “Hime, you know I forgive you.” Jupiter said. “YAY, so you’ll still cook me dinners and bake for me?” Usagi asked. Makoto faulted onto her back. “Mako-chan?” Usagi asked looking down at her twitching form. She jumped back up and dusted herself off, after the guys had gotten a good look up her skirt. Jupiter grabbed Usagi and they started to leave. Jupiter dropped the communicator at Hotohori’s feet. “I’ll give you this. If you want to talk to him just let me know.” She said pointing to the spare she had on her wrist. “He’s your friend and friends shouldn’t be kept from one another.” She added. “Makoto Kino, you get that back from him. It’s bad enough you ended up in that dimension.” Pluto said over the communicator. Jupiter mumbled, “Just trying to do something nice for once and she bites my head off, real nice Puu, real nice.” Jupiter picked up the communicator on the floor. “I’ll find a way.” She said in his ear. “Listen, Jupiter, I do need you to bring someone home with you.” Pluto said. “NANI! So they can interfere but I can’t!” Jupiter yelled into her wrist. “They’ll be going home after this is over.” Pluto said. “They…”Usagi said grabbing Jupiter’s wrist. “Hey Odango that’s MY wrist, you have your own.” Jupiter said grabbing her wrist back. “Gomen.” Usagi said opening her own communicator. “Bring the ones called Tasuki, Chichiri, and Hotohori.” Pluto said. The men in question looked to Jupiter. “No.” Jupiter said. “I’ll get them myself if I have to.” Pluto said. “So get them yourself. I’m not pulling them away from their own world.” Jupiter said as she glowed green and disappeared. “Juppy-chan!!!!!! You left me here.” Usagi yelled. “No I didn’t.” Jupiter said walking in the door. “Just went to find Miaka. She should have say in this. You know I can’t get out of here without Pluto’s help and she won’t let me go home unless I bring them with us.” Jupiter said was she and Miaka walked in. “What do I have to do with this?” Miaka said. Jupiter held her wrist up so Miaka could see it. “Miaka, my name is Sailor Pluto. I request that the seishi, Tasuki, Chichiri, and Hotohori come to this world to help our senshi.” Pluto said. “I may be their Miko, but they have their own lives.” Miaka said holding into Tamahome who had remained silent this whole time. “I cannot go. This is my land, and I can not just leave it.” Hotohori said. “If Miaka will be ok without me, I shall go, no da.” Chichiri said. “I’m not going. I’m not hanging out with a bunch of girls.” Tasuki said. Chichiri smiled and pushed Tasuki into his Kasa. “So when do we leave, no da?” “Very well. Come through the portal.” Pluto said. A large black hole opened and Jupiter, Usagi, and Chichiri walked through. The portal closed and a very large mirror was left in its place. A picture appeared on the mirror of Pluto, standing in a living room with a bunch of people hugging Jupiter in the background. “Miaka, seishi, I will leave this here. It is stationed in Makoto’s apartment, so should you need anything of the other seishi you may call on them. Nuriko come here.” Pluto said. Nuriko walked in front of the mirror and looked to his friends. “Hi guys.” He said. “Nuriko!” Miaka yelled happily. “Will you be able to come back home to us?” She asked. “I’m afraid not. I was reborn here. I have a family that would miss me.” He said sadly. “We understand, but at least you can come and visit.” Hotohori almost pleaded. “I will visit, but I…” Nuriko closed his eyes to the man he once loved for his sister. “You’re in love with one of them.” Chiriko said. “Hai!” Nuriko said looking into Hotohori’s eyes. He then turned his head to look as Makoto who was attempting to hold her anger and a raven-haired girl away from Tasuki. “She’s why I was reborn here, I think. I feel as if I’ve known her forever, though I only just met her today.” He informed. “I’m sorry, but we must go. I must now explain things here. We will be in contact.” Pluto said as the mirror went blank. “Nuriko.” Hotohori sighed. So there is chapter 2. Not a lot of action, and there is still the question of how Makoto actually got into the book, but those will be answered by Pluto in the next chapter. Chichiri: This was a long wait for them, no da. JL: Yeah well I needed to know what seishi to bring to the real world. Later on in the story I might bring more, but to let you all know…there will be no pairings with the new seishi. They will have to return to the book, and I’m not one for breaking up relationships, so I’m not even starting them. Nuriko: I know, broken relationships suck. JL: Yes they do. Now review and/ or flame…I don’t care…but if you flame do it on content and not on substance. Ja.
