Partings Ch8 by Animobookm Rated G Hi! Sorry about the last chapter's rude beginning. Guess I was a bit in a rush to start writing that chapter. How is everyone's vacation? Good I hope? Well now enough of that. Now without further ado I present?. Partings Ch8 Several Weeks Later?. As night arrived in the city of Tokyo on the top of a skyscraper a solitary figure stood. The night was clear enough to reflect a woman with long purple hair, wearing a red short mid-thigh cheongsam. Seraphina stood watching the lights of the city below her. She then looked up at the moon thinking, "You really think I would bring the Princess to you Gannon, I think not. Why do you love her instead of me? But no matter what I will have you soon. If one were to search for Princess Serenity it would be good to acquire a human identity. No matter how I would miss this form of mine it would be good to go undercover. And maybe as I search for the Princess I could lure out the Senshi with youmas creating havoc with them." Seraphina smiled and with a snap of her fingers transported herself to a deserted Tokyo apartment. Creating the necessary needs to get by as a citizen of Tokyo Seraphina changed her looks with a wave of her hand. As the magic settled back, plain blue jeans and a white shirt replaced the cheongsam and her hair was pulled into a long braid. Seraphina smiled in satisfaction and with another wave of her hand she created identification for herself. Her name was now Sarah Whittle a photographer by living. While this was happening on the opposite side of the city in a mansion overlooking the Tokyo Bay sat Serena looking at the moon. She had just tucked Serrie to sleep. Nights like this was hard to come by since there was hardly a moment's rest for her since she had came back to Japan. As her guards gathered around her. Serena turned around and said, "Nights like this is just so peaceful, one would wish that this feeling would never end." As all nodded Alden spoke from his perch of Talon's shoulder, "My dear, I think it is time for us to plan on what to do about the senshi and that enemy of yours. It would not be good to drag this problem along for a long time." "I agree with Alden, Princess it is not wise to drag this problem any further." Said Jacob calmly as the other guards nodded their agreement. "What would be the best idea any of you would suggest?" asked Serena. "The element of surprise is our greatest advantage. We could try to lay low and observe the senshi and our enemies battling making sure that they don't know that we are there." Suggested Arvad after a long moment of silence. "That is a good idea, the senshi don't remember you all and I doubt they would even recognize me after all these years for they only known me as Eternal Sailor Moon and now I am the Star Moonlight Soldier. Besides I don't even think Pluto is here in this time so she wouldn't be here at all to see me." Said Serena after another long period of brooding. "But for now I think we should concentrate on what we need to do on our everyday basics. We will all need our rest and I need to prepare my proposal for tomorrow. It is best for everyone to go to bed and if I catch any of you worrying about this problem the punishment is to wash the dishes for a week and yes it even applies to the Guardians." Continue Serena as the 3 guardians tried to look innocent. "I am sure Alden, Arvad and Albert has remembered how to change into their human forms so no buts from any of you." Finished Serena as she walked into her bedroom and shutting the door on the stunned disbelief looks of the Guards and Guardian's faces. Behind the door Serena laugh silently and went back to working at her proposal for her designs for tomorrow, knowing that washing dishes was the job that all her guards and guardians hated except for Alec who had looked amused at the expressions on his friends faces. The next morning came early and Serena after dropping off Serrie with her Guardians drove in her white BMW to meet the heads of the fashion industry in Japan with a goal to accomplish. A few hours Serena walked out smiling, her goal accomplished with great success. While Serena was out each of the guards also went out to their new jobs. Jack had a job as a doctor and Talon and Jacob are businessmen. Alec is a cook while Ben had the job of a scientist and inventor. What was coincidental was that these jobs were near the places where the senshi frequented so it was a great chance for 3 of the guards to see their loved ones. Only Serrie and the guardians were at home after the guards left. During these several months with the other grownups so busy the 3 guardians and Serrie had formed a close relationship of companionship. Serrie was sleeping on the couch when Albert suggested to his friends "Lets take Serrie out I betcha the little missus would love it seeing the city of Princess's birth. Besides I think it's high time we change into our human forms for I miss stretching the old muscles and if it would take anymore longer to change I fear we will break our old bones. Maybe when we bring our little missus out we could see the senshi and the young cat guardians again. I wonder if Luna and Artemis are still arguing? They always were like an old couple fighting." The other Guardians chucked at this, Alden and Arvad thinking it was a good idea agreed to Albert's plan. So with a mental command the 3 guardians changed themselves into their human forms. "Looks like we have more silver hair then the last time we had this look." Remarked Arvad. They were all robust looking men who looks like they were in their 50's with mustaches. The fattest was Albert and the slimmest was Arvad while Alden was in the middle neither fat nor slim just average. Collecting Serrie up in a hug Albert and the others walked outside to look at the city. On the way Serrie woke up from her nap and quickly recognized her Uncle's Albert, Arvad and Alden. She smiled and then said "Uncle Albert can we go buy roses for Mama and then eat ice-cream?" "Sure little missus and after we do all those things why don't we go and take you to play the infamous Sailor V game your mama had told us about." Serrie smiled and then giggled as she held up a flower that had appeared from her hand, holding it up to Albert's nose she ticked his nose making him sneeze. The other guardians teased Albert good naturally while he only blushed. A while later?. After buying a bouquet of red and white roses the guardians and Serrie approached a place called the Crown Caf鮍 Darien had just given a speech at the Tokyo University and was with Allison going to caf頦or a lunch. He then saw 3 middle-aged men walk past him with a child and in that brief moment he saw the child's face. Lita and Mina had just finished shopping and were going for lunch at the Crown Caf頷hen they saw Darien and Allison standing outside of the caf鮍 Lita tapped Darien on the shoulder and asked, "Darien is there anything wrong?" Darien could only reply "I just saw a child that looked like Serena." Shocked the 3 senshi could only follow Darien as he walked in. Inside Lizzie greeted them with the same enthusiastic smile leading them to a table. They then saw the table where the child and the people were with her. They were sitting in a table chatting as the child ate ice cream and nearby was a bouquet of roses. Serena had just finished going to the optic store getting new green contact lenses when she noticed that she was nearby the Crown Caf鮠Deciding to go there to eat for old time's sake she left her car in a parking lot and walked towered the caf鮠When she got there she recognized Lizzie, older but still as nice. But when she was about to be seated a familiar voice cried, "Mama!" Serena saw her daughter and the 3 guardians, with a smile she walk towered her daughter as her 3 guardians stood up and said respectfully, "Miss Selene." When she got to her daughter and hugged her Serena felt a familiar strong presence. It was then she saw him. Author's note- -A cheongsam is a traditional Chinese dress with a high Maderian collar and a slit on either sides of the dress. -I am not sure of what the real geography of Japan so I am making my own settings of Serena's mansion. -Also if any people are still confused on the roles of the guardians always keep an intro nearby like I do for reference. -Anyone can send comments to me at Animobookm@aol.com. I love any kind of e-mail.
