Destiny Star !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Part 8 *It Has Begun* The Secret It was three day after they had destroyed Rubus. Rini now knows who the Sailor Scouts are and still keeps their secrets to herself. It has been six weeks and four days that Serena had been coming at night. Tonight would have made six weeks and five days. If it wasn't for that damn light.......... Serena awoke at 11:45, on the dot. Some part of her brain was put to the job of waking her up each night, always at this time. Serena looked down to the little girl laying in the hollow of her arm. The first times she had just gotten up carefully, done the spell on Luna, and gone on her way. But one time she had just woken up and stayed there, with Rini asleep by her. I had gotten worried when she was 15 minute late and had gone to her house. I though something was wrong, her parents found her, Luna woke up before she could get the Memory Spell on. A number of things ran in my head. But when I got there all I found was Serena awake in bed looking at her future daughter, not a thing wrong. I taped her on the shoulder and said we had to go. She didn't even look at me but just said "My daughter Reona. My daughter...." Needless to say I just left and let Serena stay where she was for the night. Serena came out of her silent thoughts and sighed*, the movement stirred Rini's hair. Serena had been careful not to wake Rini all the other times she had to leave. Serena detached herself from Rini and slowly wiggled out of bed. She went to Luna and did the Memory Spell without a sound. She stood and shifted into the gold suit. The light was the last straw. Rini's red eyes popped open and she sat up. "Sailor Moon?" Serena whipped around, her hair and cape fling out. Deep blue meet bright red. "Nani? Rini?!!? Shimatta!" Serena cursed under her breath at her stupid actions, she should have been more careful. Rini's eyes traveled down Serena body. Serena straightened, slowly, as if afraid Rini would cry if she did any quick movements. "Sailor Moon?? Serena?? What are you wearing? Did you get a call?" ask Rini. Rini waited for Serena to give her an answer. After a few seconds Rini made an impatient nosie and began to lightly kick Luna with her foot. "Hey Luna wake up. Look at Serena, what is she wearing?" Rini spoke to the ball of fur. Rini kicked Luna three times before she crawled over to her and shook her. "Luna? Luna wake up." Rini began to get worried. "Serena what wrong with Luna?" The young girl looked at the older one. Serena finally sighed* in defeat. "Luna wont wake up til morning Rini. Don't even try." Rini looked at Serena with puzzled eyes. "Rini, did your Mother ever teach you what a Memory Spell was or have you ever seen your Mother use one?" asked Serena. Rini shook her head. "No of corse not. Your still to young." muttered Serena. Rini came back to her own defiance. "I an not to young." Than she faltered. "To young for what, Serena?" Serena looked at the girl in front of her. Rini sat with her legs under her and in pink pajamas. Though Serena. She glanced at the clock, 11:52. "Come on Rini get dressed." Serena went around her bed to the closet. She opened it and grabbed some of Rini's clothes. Serena handed her the clothing and went to get some shoes for her. Rini sat holding the outfit Serena had given her. "Where are we going Serena?" Serena turned back with the shoes, her cape twisting around her. The cape and her seemed to move as one, nether getting in the others way. Kneeling before Rini Serena pulled the pajama top off and put the other day shirt over her head. "Rini do you remember the talk we had about secrets the day you found out I was Sailor Moon?" Rini nods as she pulled on her skirt. "Well I need you to keep another secret if you want to come with me tonight." Serena stopped helping Rini and looked her in the eyes. Serena was not sure a Memory Spell would work on Rini, seeing that she was of the same blood. Anyway she was not going to put a Memory Spell on her own daughter, alive yet or other wise. She had gone though to much sorrow with Luna. "I get to keep another Sailor Scout secret?!" Rini was happy all the Sailor Scouts trusted her so much. Serena shook her head. "No Rini, You get to keep a Moon secret. None of the other Sailor Scouts know about what or where I go at night. Not even.....Darien." Rini faltered again. She told everything to Darien, it helped him feel better. Serena just sat there, waiting for Rini's answer. Rini reached out and hugged the surprised girl. "Sailor Moon, I will keep your secret." She pulled back and smiled at Serena. "I mean from everyone Rini. All the Sailor Scouts, Darien, and Luna." Serena needed to be sure she would not say anything to anyone. Rini looked at her firmly. "Yes" and she means every word. With a quick nod Serena pulled the last of Rini's close on. When they were finished Serena stood. "Come on." She held out her hand to Rini. They walked over to the window and Serena knelt. "Rini I need you to hold on to me as tight as you can. I wont let you fall but the tighter you can hold on to me the easier it is for me to run." Serena made a sideway glance at the clock again, 11:56. Rini nodded. The two went to a hug position but stayed there. Serena stood with her right arm under Rini, supporting her. "Ready Rini?" asked Serena. Rini nodded against Serena's shoulder. "This is going to be fast so hang on." Serena unlocked the window with her left hand. Bending at the knees Serena jumped out onto her balcony over the railing and onto the grass below. Rini made a muffled yelp but Serena did not look at her. Serena hit the ground at a flat run. She bounded up to the wall that goes around her house and ran to the corner. She jumped onto the street and into the night. The only thing heard was the faint clicks of Serena's shoes as she raced down the shadowed streets. I, on the other hand, was riding the wind, so to speak. It had been many nights since I had gotten a chance to ride Starlight. Starlight was my Pegasus, just as Moonbeam was Serena's. Riding at night was another habit we had gotten into. We would take out Starlight and Moonbeam and just race around the park in the dead of night. Sometimes we would fly. Above the clouds where the moon's light was the brightest. We would dance among the pillows of white stuff. But this was more dangerous to do, even at night. Mostly we rode in the park. Sharp clicks coming from the hooves of the two Pegasus. But right now, it was just me. My Starlight was pure white, just as Moonbeam was. But where Moonbeam had a gold mane Starlight had a silver one. Deep and shining. My silver star sign shines on her head. The bridle and reins were leather. On the sides of Starlight's cheeks are two small, button like stars, which were fastened to the bridle. They were my star signs. The buttons were used as a frantic help call. When you are in trouble you would push one of the buttons on the bridle and it would send a message back. All the Pegasus don't have saddles. I let go of the reins and held my arms out, like I was fling. Starlight raced down the path. My hair and capes was fling behind us. I was in my silver suit with my cape. I grabbed the reins and pulled back, Starlight slowed to a walk. "So now what?" asked Starlight. I looked down at her. "Lets just walk for awhile. There is no hurry." She bobs her head. "But don't you need to get back? Serena will come. Its almost midnight." I shrugged my shoulders. A few minutes passed and I turned Starlight around to go back to the manor. Serena jumped up to the wall that surrounds the park. She places her hand on the light to steady herself. Rini lifted her head for the first time that night. "Are you ok, Sailor Moon?" Serena opened her eyes and looked at her, she smiled. "Yes I'm ok. And Rini there is no reason you need to call me Sailor Moon, I am not transformed." Rini looked puzzled. "Than what are you wearing?" Serena sighed* "All will be explained when we get to the manor." Serena shifted her position. "Your not going to go in that, are you?" Rini asked when she saw the tree patch before them. "Yes I am." "..but!.." That was all Rini got out as Serena jumped off the wall and into the trees. I was still walking Starlight back when my senses went off. I pulled back on the reins sharply and Starlight jerked to a stop. "What?" I raised my hand for silence and listened. "..Serena?..." I whispered. Just as I said that a cloaked figure crashed through the trees that lined the path. Starlight reared up in surprise. I heard a cry from the direction of the figure. I tightened my grip around her with my knees and hugged her neck. Starlight came down hard on her front legs, jarring me. I sat up quickly, my hair fling back. The figure stood where it had landed, seeming unaffected by the show. Locks of blond hair showed from the bottom of the cape it was wearing. It was Serena, alright. She stood their looking the same as always, but for the small trembling bundle she was carrying....that had pink hair! "Small Lady" I breathed. I slid off of Starlight and walked up to Serena, my own cape settling around me. As I approached Serena took off the hood of the cape with her free hand. "Reona" She gestured with her hand to Rini. "This is.." I held up my hand to stop her. "I know who it is Serena." Rini flinched as I placed my hand on her back. "Hello Small Lady" I greeted her using the name from her time, Crystal Tokyo. Rini gasped and twisted around in Serena's arm to look at me. Her eyes shown with tears. "You..you know my name?" I smiled at her. "We all know who you are and why you are here." A tear slid down her face. "I want to go home." she said in a whisper. Serena spook this time. "Rini, your time needs you to be here. We need your help in this time to save the future. This is why you came here, so you could help." Rini nodded. I smiled at her. "Rini, what scouts do you know?" She turned back to me. "Um there are the Inner, the Outer, uh the Knights, a Sailor Light, and a Sailor Star." I stepped back. I raise my Star Crystal from the place on my suit. "Star Crystal Power!" I yell. Silver light exploded from me. When I finish I am in my Sailor Suit (Chapter 2 for description) Rini's eyes narrow. Than she give a laugh and throw herself from Serena's arms at me. "Ree!!" (R-E) I catch her in a hug. "Ree!! Ree!" she screams over and over. When she finally settles Serena is as confused as ever. "Um Sailor Star? What is Ree?" I look at her. "Its Rini's nick name for me. Just as Sailor Pluto is Puu, I am Ree. Remember Serena I am like Sailor Pluto, Rini knows me too." Explaining enough for Serena. Rini jump up and down. "Oh is Puu here too? Goody!" We laugh. "Sure she is. Lets go see her. Starlight." We walk back to the manor with Starlight trailing behind us. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sorry that I didn't get to all the parts I wanted to. Like why the enemy got smart but you know how the secret got out and to who. Next time: *This is not happening* The enemy gets smart!
