Today was a day like any other. She went about her duties as any other person in Crystal Tokyo would then retired to her room to get some well deserved rest and like any other day she lay in her bed for what seemed like hours. Thinking about her life before the Sailor Senshi, before she was healed by there love. She thought about Rubeus, she like all of her sisters, was in love with him. Unlike her sisters she actually had the chance to love him. That was when she still believed that Rubeus loved her, before she found out that he was using to her to get the crystal points. Prisma sighed remembering gave her a headache, but she continued to remember, it was the only way she could still be the young girl who was so wrapped up in believing that she was special. Special because she thought she was the one Rubeus loved, but she wasn't. She never believe what her sisters told she didn't want to. She supposed that she was lucky she was in his good graces long enough to give him what he wanted. The Heir to the Negaverse. It was to bad that she never got the chance to meet her father and mother together. Rubeus took her away soon after she named the child. Lily, the name of an innocent person, someone who's entire existence was not based on world domination.
Prisma was almost glad that she didn't live long enough to carry out her father evil plan. Almost. Prisma often wondered that if Lily had lived would she be here with the Sailor Senshi, would she have found the friendship and acceptance that she always wanted, but tonight she didn't.
Tonight.
She thought.
Tonight I'll sleep
With that she drifted in to a silent, undisturbed sleep.
Space. Lily thought about the coldness of space .She thought about her home planet of Vega. True it had once been uninhabited star but 30 years ago Earth had decided to send life there. They did not know that she was there then, but they did now and they led her in to their nice happy lives. Lily was over 1000 years old, yet she looked like an 18-year-old girl. She like the rest of the people on Vega had long life spans. They said that it had something to do with a crystal, but really didn't care. All she really cared about was reaching Earth and reaching a planet where she could thrive and carry out her plan.
Hotaru walked slowing down the sidewalk. Her dark, damp hair clung to her skin, but she didn't care. The sky was dark and full of clouds. The rain came down in soft drops and splashed in the flowerbeds near by. Hotrau had watched the sun set and marveled at how beautiful it was. Now, as she hurried to the palace she got the feeling that she was not alone.
Yuki floated next to her bodyguard Ian. She was the high princess of the planet Vega. She was here because one of her fathers’ people had left without confirming why. She was sent because her father trusted her to bring Lily back.
Ian gently touched her hand to get her attention.
"Ladyship I see someone coming towards us. Perhaps you should come down to the ground."
Yuki glanced down at her faithful bodyguard.
"That would be a wise idea."
She put her left hand out and Ian took it as she gently leaped to the ground. Almost at once she spotted a girl walking towards them. She had her head down and she was walking very fast. As she neared them she looked up and stopped.
Hotaru had stopped and was staring at the two people in front or her .The girl looked about her age. She was about her own height and looked as if she was lost. Her hair was a very unusual white and she had piercing eyes that reflected the light. The man with her had a strange blue color in his hair that was greener then blue. Kind of aqua, he stood about a head taller then the girl. Hotaru walked towards them.
"Are you lost?"
The girl made eye contact
"Kind of, does being lost, not know where you are?"
Hotaru laughed silently.
" Yes I believe it is. What's your name maybe I can help you."
" I would be ever so grateful if you would. My name is Yuki and this is Ian. We have traveled a great distance, from our own planet of Vega in order to see the Queen of Crystal Tokyo."
"Well," Hotaru smiled.
" I can help you there. If you would like, I can lead you to the palace and then see if you can meet the Queen."
Yuki looked confused.
" I know you face from somewhere. What's your name?" She asked.
Hotrau looked down.
I knew see was going to ask that, buts this power around her. She's giving off the light of a senshi. Could she be one of us? There is a Sailor Senshi for each planet. Each Sailor is its planets own princess. Could she be the senshi from Vega? It is now a planet; it must have its own protector. Could she be it? Thoughts raced though Hotrau's head.
I'd better talk to Haruka, Michiru, and Satsuna. They'd know.
Hotrau looked back up.
" My name is Hotrau."
Yuki eyes became a sliver glare.
" That name... I know it.' She whispered.
"You’re one of the Maidens that protect the queen. One of the immortal souls to be born again and again." She shut her eyes as if she were looking back in time in her head.
" You’re the powerful, silent, Sailor Senshi. Sailor Saturn."
Hotrau smiled meekly.
"Yes I am"
She said out loud while she thought.
Oh my I can't believe she figured that out so soon. Yuki curtsied gracefully.
" Thank you Hotrau, Sailor Saturn. We would be greatly in your dept, if you would lead us to the palace."
Hotrau led them the winding sidewalk to the back entrance of the palace.
"Did you bring clothes and stuff?" She asked.
Yuki and Ian nodded.
"Why don't you change in to something dry before we see the Queen?" Hotrau suggested.
After they had changed into dry clothes Hotrau led them to the Queens chambers
"Your Majesty?" She called
" Yes? Is that you Hotrau?"
" Yes it is, I have some people to see you."
" All right bring them in."
Hotrau led them to the Queen.
Yuki dropped to the floor, and Ian kneeled besides her.
"Your Majesty I am her ladyship Yuki Nayai, high princess of the planet Vega and Heir to the throne. This is my loyal bodyguard Ian. We come before your great presence to ask a gracious favor of your Majesty the High Queen of Crystal Tokyo. For you see, a fore week ago my Father the high king of the planet Vega was informed that one of our people has traveled illegally to your planet. He has sent my loyal bodyguard and I to insure that she be led safely to her home without any harm coming to her. I ask that you will allow and aid us in finding her."
Yuki and Ian rose to their feet.
" I see.'
Neo Queen Serenity said.
She remembered that Vega was a star for many years but now a small group of people called it home.
"Your Father sent you?" She asked.
Yuki nodded "Yes he did."
Neo Queen Serenity frowned. " I wasn't aware that he had a child."
Yuki put her hands out in front of her.
" He met my mother shortly after he came in to power. I was born and she died giving birth to me. That's way you've never heard of me. He feels I'm too much of a reminder to him and our people." There was sadness in her eyes.
It must hurt to talk about her mother. Neo Queen Serenity thought.
" Very well, I will see to it that you are helped in any way we can. In the mean time, I suggest that you and your bodyguard get some rest."
"Thank you Your Majesty I am ever so grateful."
Hotrau stood next to the door.
She's a princess, why didn't she tell me. This just makes me think she a senshi more. She thought about this as they finished their talk.
" Hotrau can you please lead them to one of the guest chambers." Neo Queen Serenity asked Hotrau nodded.
"Thank you, Hotrau,"
Meanwhile the princess of earth, Chibi-Usa, was walking on the place grounds when she saw a person before her. Chibi-Usa ran to the girl and yelled "Hello."
The girl looked to her
"Hi."
"What's your name?" She asked
"Well my name is Lily. What yours?"
Chibi-Usa looked at her and said "My name is Chibi-Usa. Wow Lily is such a pretty name .Are you from around here?"
Lily looked down at the little girl "No I'm not I'm from far away."
Chibi-Usa seemed to think about this and then she said " Do you have a place to stay?"
Lily shook her head and Chibi-Usa said "Well then you can stay with us!"
Lily smiled at her and said "Little one, maybe you should ask you Mum and Dad first."
Chibi-Usa said "Oh no its ok we live in the palace my Mum won't mind, Daddy won't mind either their the King And Queen."
Lily looked at the girl through green eyes and said "All right, that is if you’re sure."
Chibi-Usa nodded and took her hand as they raced off toward the palace.
Minako sat next to Rei and Makoto.
" I wonder what's keeping Hotrau." She thought out loud."I don't know but if she isn't here soon I'm leaving." Said Rei
Just then Hotrau walked in with two people
" Hi sorry I'm late I had to stop by to see Serenity."
Makoto stood up and said " You can be late all you want if you tell me who he is."
Hotrau smiled "'Well that's Ian and this is Yuki. She's a princess from Vega."
Ami looked up "Wow, you’re from Vega you must have traveled very far to get here."
Yuki nodded and said "Yes we did but it was truly worthwhile to see all of the beautiful things Earth has to offer."
Rei looked up to where they were standing. "Hey do you talk like that all the time? Come on sit down."
Yuki sat on an empty chair " No Rei I do talk like that all the time."
Rei smiled " Well I’m glad of that, I don't think I could keep up with what you were saying if you did. So what brings you to...Hey how did I know my name?!"
Yuki smiled and said " I know many things."
Rei smiled, She's different, she has power. I wonder what it is.
"Well, we all have our secrets."
Yuki smiled back and looked to Minako. " A field of love protects you; its power is strange."
She looked confused.
Minako looked at her very strangely "What...?"
Yuki smiled again and everyone could see that it was a fake smile "Never mind it's nothing."
She mumbled
Hotrau and the rest stood there looking at each other until Makoto broke the silence.
"Hey do you want to come with us. We're going to the top tower to look at the stars."
Yuki looked at them intensly through sliver eyes.
"You star gaze." She observed
"It is nice to watch the stars and see their paths, isn't it?"
Makoto smiled and said. "Well, I'll take that as a yes. Ok come on."
They went up to the tower and looked out at the stars for what seemed like hours to Yuki.
I feel strange here. With them.
Ian looked over at his princess.
How lovely she looks in the night sky.
He could tell that she was thinking about the strange feelings she got from these girls. Ian knew that Yuki would soon discover the truth. She was intelligent enough to figure it out. Yes, Thought Ian. My lovely princess will find her destiny here. Ian's smile ran into the stars. And I'll be here to help her.
Hotrau stood up.
"Come on guys. It’s getting late and we have important duties to attend to tomorrow, let’s go in."
Yuki and Ian went back to their rooms. Ian said goodnight and told her to sleep well, and she said she would.
As she climbed in to bed Yuki mind shifted to what her father had said.
"Yuki hurry back and don't fail in your mission if you do there will be large punishments that you alone will pay."
Yuki looked in to the darkness and muttered to herself. "I won't father, I won't fail you."
