Chapter 3, Who Am I



Queen Serenity sits at the head of a large banquet table. The young ten year old senshi and Princess Serenity are also sitting at the table. The doors at the far end of the hall open to reveal the fifteen year old boy that Jupiter had brought in. He is now dressed in a smart white uniform with a white cape, he is still wearing a sword though this one's gold hilt is ornamented with diamonds. As he enter he bows low to the queen and says

"I know not how to repay your kindness. After my home was destroyed I was left a wanderer. You took me in and for this I can do nothing more than to pledge to you my love, my loyalty, and my life." The Queen seemed both surprised and pleased with this.

"You are welcome to stay for as long as you will, but I'm afraid we still don't know who you are or where you come from.

"I beg your majesties pardon. I am Sakata Kintoki, Prince of Light, First son of the King of Light, and last son of a dead people from a destroyed world. But none of that maters now he died with my home, I am now just Kintaro."

***********

Makoto suddenly sits up in bed

"So that's who he is!" She looks over at the clock. "Oh no I'm late for school." She hurriedly puts on her uniform grabs something to eat and runs out the door.

***********

Makoto and Ami are walking over to Rei's temple after school.

"Yippee I can't wait to show Mamo-Chan!" Usagi runs past the two girls and down the street.

"What got into her?" Makoto asked Ami.
"Didn't you know I didn't believe it myself at first."
"What" Makoto almost shouted at Ami.
"Well Usagi got a Ninety Five on her English test."

***********

Ami, Makoto, Miniko, and Rei are sitting outside the Hikari dojo waiting for it to open.

"You know I knew she would have to grow up eventually, I never told her this but I could always sense that it was there deep inside her." Rei looked almost embarrassed as she admitted these things. "I really think that's why I would always be on her case." She stopped as Makoto opened the door to the dojo.

Kioku was dressed in white sitting cross legged in the center of the room, his eyes ware closed and a drawn katana sword lay across his lap.

"Hi....mmm..." Makoto's greeting was cut short as Rei cupped her hand over her mouth and dragged her from the room. "What was that for?" an angry Makoto asked Rei.

"I just have a feeling. He wasn't just thinking in there." Rei replied obviously worried. "He is troubled, by what, I don't know. It's almost.."

"Hi everybody!" Rei was cut short by a cheerful Usagi followed by Mamoru. Nobody notices Kioku opening the door. Kioku stops in his tracks as he observes the scene in front of him. Usagi and Mamoru are standing in the center arm in arm, while the other girls stand in pairs to their left and right. "It is not possible!" The girls stare at him in shock, while Mamoru seams to remember something. "The dreams, the dreams!" Kioku is almost doubled over in pain. He stares Makoto in the eyes and yells "Why are you in my dreams, what are you trying to tell me." He than turns to Usagi "And you princess, what is happening, WHO AM I!" Kioku turns and runs from the room. Usagi looks up at Mamoru,

"He knows who we are." she seams more puzzled than scared.
"No Usako." Mamoru replies uncharacteristically tender. "He knows who we were."


-flashback-


The four generals Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoicite, and Kunzite are standing in the middle of a room.

"He left for the moon again."
"Funny he didn't tell us."
"We went with him the 1st time, and I say that things went well."
"I think that these trips have more meaning than friendship between Earth and the Moon."
"He did seem very interested in the princess."
"That guy with the cold silvery eyes never did take his hand off the hilt of his sword."


At the moon palace Kintaro stands outside a door waiting. The door opens and Endymion walks out of the room. He is carrying a red rose.

"And where did that come from?" Kintaro glares at Endymion. Endymion turns and gives a do I really have to tell look. Kintaro's face lights up as he actually smiles. The two walk off together like life long friends.

"Roses, you know you, or rather the Princess has given me an idea." the two continue down the hall talking. The princess steps out of the room glowing with happiness.

***********

Back in the present a train stops and a familiar figure gets off.

"So It has begun. He has returned, just like I saw it." The figure frowns. What was to happen, It has been so long since he had seen her, and now. So many things could happen, and the future frightened him, but he had been wrong before. Had not the prediction of his on destruction been adverted. What was it that he was told when he was first trained to use this strange gift over a thousand years ago. "Difficult to see, Always in motion is the future."
