Chapter 4:The Inner Senshi Learn the Full Truth About
 the Past 
*Note:If you held off from reading the bio because of 
the spoilers,it's safe to read it now.* 

At Rei's house(temple): 
"Well girls,gather around,this is as I said,will take a
while."<Luna instructs. Usagi is in tears,"She meant it
 guys,if it wasn't for Pluto,Ki would have killed me 
right there.I've never seen that look in her eyes 
before,it was so cold and lost,and even angry,
I-",Usagi then breaks down completely. Rei and Ami are 
the first to rush over and comfort her.
    "She's just angry.",says Ami. "Yeah,she really 
doesn't mean it.", Rei chimes in. 
  Mamoru walks in and Usagi rushes into his arms.
"If you would all sit down,I don't want to be here all
 night!",Luna says sternly. Everyone finds a seat and
 gets adjusted. 
  "As you all heard,Earth is actually the true 
princess.It all began in the time before the Silver 
Millenium,all of you were still princesses in your 
own planets' kingdoms. The Uranus royal family was 
taking a vacation to Earth,the queen was pregnant 
with Sailor Earth at this time. Uranus was almost 3 
years old,the family planned to spend two weeks 
vacationing on Earth before the meeting of the royal 
courts.You see,since this is before the Silver 
Millenium,there was no one kingdom,but seperate ones 
that met together. All the kingdoms met there because 
Earth had yet to have a kingdom,it was considered a 
nuetral planet. As luck would have it,the queen gave 
birth to Earth during thier vacation.They decided to 
name her 'Earth' since there was no Earth kingdom and 
they already had a princesses Uranus. As Uranus and
Earth got older,there was talk amongst the planet 
Uranus' people about which sister would rule as heir. 
The sisters were very close and it tore thier hearts 
apart to see the people fighting this way. So,at only
being a teenager,Earth made a decision all on her own.
She believed the right to the throne belonged to 
Uranus,she was the oldest and born on the planet,so 
she could draw on it's power. Earth decided to leave 
for planet Earth,the planet where she was born. She
packed her things,left her family a note, and left.
When Earth arrived,the people of Earth overwhelmingly
accepted her.The people wanted a kingdom to unite 
thier planet,but it took one of not only of a pure 
heart born on thier planet,but one of devine power as 
well. Elysion was still a part of Earth,their fated 
ruler was to be the one who could pick up and harness
the power of the golden crystal from Elysion. Many 
had tried and failed,the people urged Earth to try,
she didn't want the responsibility,but she finally 
gave in..." 
  "Wait!Isn't Mamoru-?" "I'm getting to that Usagi,
don't interrupt." "Sorry Luna." "*Sigh*Mamoru one of 
the first people she met when she came to Earth.
They became very good friends,I'll get back to him in
 a moment..." 
    At Michiru's Living Room: 
Setsuna,Ki(Nakushita),and Hotaru just heard the 
message on the machine,Michiru had to take Haruka to
 the hospital. 
  "You didn't really mean what you said,did you 
Nakushita? You're not really going to harm our 
princess,are you?",questions Setsuna."Yes,I am dead 
serious,Setsuna.She knew,she knew of the yoma who 
killed my mother,and where was she?!-On a date with
 Mamoru!" "You don't know that for-" 
    "Yes I do!Setsuna,I do!",Ki tries hard to hold
 back her tears. "And what about Haruka?! Hugh?! She 
stands there and just yells her name! She made no
 effort..." ""Calm down Nakushita. Hotaru,are you
 going to stick around,or-" 
   "Um,no Setsuna-mama,I'm gonna head back to the 
university.Let me know about Haruka-papa,will you?" 
  "Yes Hotaru,you know I will." 
"Oh,aunt Nakushita?" "Yes Hotaru? You're older than
I am,you don't have to call me aunt." "Yeah,um,it'll 
be okay.",she says as she hugs Setsuna and Ki
(Nakushita) goodbye. 
    "Setsuna?" "Yes Nakushita?" "Have you realized 
that since comming here, I've turned your lives upside
 down. I-" 
  "Don't even talk like that! I have watched you grow 
up from my post,true,you've had alot of trying times,
but you are not a curse. Your sister loves you.You have
filled an empty space in Haruka's heart,don't you ever
forget that. Without you and Michiru,Haruka,well,let's
not even think about it. Are you ready to go?" "Yeah,
let me get my keys." "No,I'll drive.",Setsuna replies. 
    Back at Rei's temple: 
  "Anyway,to make a long story short,Earth also became
friends with Helios as well and he gave her the golden 
crystal.The crystal accepted her and she was 
immediately made the queen of Earth. She then,in turn,
deemed Helios as the permanent guardian of Elysion and
of the crystal and knighted Mamoru.She met you and the
other princesses at the next and final kingdom 
conferance.Uranus was prohibited by her parents to 
attend,they knew that if Uranus came to Earth,she would
refuse to leave.The sisters relayed messages to each 
other through Pluto and Neptune.Uranus and Earth missed
each other greatly.Earth became good friends with you
Usagi,and introduced you to Mamoru,you know the story 
about you two from there.Not long after that is when 
the Negaforce started destroying the kingdoms.The 
Earth's and the Moon's kingdoms were the only ones 
still intact and is where all the survivors took thier
refuge.However,the Moon Kingdom needed alot of repairs,
so Earth being the only kingdom completely intact,was 
proclaimed 'kingdom of our solar system'." 
   "I'm confused Luna." "Shut up Usagi!",Rei bellows.
"Besides,Ami is taking notes.",Minako chimes in. 
     "Ahem! As I was saying! It didn't take long for 
the Moon Kingdom to get repaired and for the Negaforce
to begin it's attack on Earth.There were millions of 
yoma,the only way that the planet even had a chance at
being saved was for Earth to use her 'Total 
Destruction' attack.Before doing this,she gave Mamoru 
the crystal and proclaimed him as 'prince of the Earth'
and gave the Moon Kingdom the rights to be kingdom of 
our solar system.She was finally able to see her 
sister ,but it was bitter sweet as she bid Uranus
farewell.She did her 'Total Destruction' attack,and 
that's basically the start of the Silver Millenium.",
Luna says,wrapping it up. 
   Now,the inner senshi knew why Haruka and
 Ki(Nakushita) were so protective of one another,they 
now understood why Ki was so mad at Usagi. Everything
 was starting to make sense,and each vowed in thier 
heart that history would not repeat itself. 
   At Tokyo Hospital: 
    Setsuna and Ki(Nakushita) run frantically in the
 halls until they find Michiru. 
   "Michiru,how is she?!",Ki exclaims.Michiru cries as
she runs to hug Ki(Nakushita)."Nakushita,I'm so glad 
you're here.I'm so scared." Ki hugs Michiru,trying to
comfort her.Seeing Michiru like this,she realizes her 
sister's condition is bad.She tries to fight back the 
tears that are streaming down her face.She tries to be
strong for her friend,knowing two basket cases wouldn't
help the situation.Setsuna,the strong one,begins to cry
as well."Can I see her?",Ki questions. 
   "They won't let anyone into the room,not until a 
family member fills out the paper work.",Michiru cries.
  "We'll see about that,Setsuna,please stay with 
Michiru." 
    Ki walks up to the front desk."May I help you?",
asks the nurse behind the counter. I'm here to fill 
out some papers for Haruka Tenoh." "What is the 
relationship with the patient?" "I'm Haruka's sister
 and I want to know why you didn't let Michiru fill 
these out,she knows more about Haruka than I do!" 
"Ma'am,Im sorry,only family can,it's our policy,do you
have any id?" Ki pats her pokets and remebers that 
Haruka had all the id that could verify her being her
sister."Haruka had it.""I'm sorry,I won't be able to 
let you fill out-" 
   "What's going on here?",questions a woman,it was 
Ami's mom and she was with Setsuna and the wheeping 
Michiru."Nurse,let this girl fill out the forms." 
"But doctor,I-" "These ladies are friends of my 
daughter..." 
    After a few more moments of arguing and debating,
Ami's mom was able to get the forms for Ki to fill out,
with alot of help from Michiru. The girls then walked 
to room 249-A,where laid Haruka,there where tubes and 
monitors everywhere.She was badly cut and bruised as
well,all and all,she looked like a science project that 
went wrong. Even though she was asleep,you could tell 
that Haruka was in tremendous pain. Michiru sat next to
her love and gently took her hand.Haruka grunted with
pain and Michiru let go,feeling guilty that she just
hurt her Haruka.Setsuna was reading Haruka's chart,and 
Ki? She walked out,she couldn't stomache it. Her sister
was lying there,practically lifeless,and she did 
nothing.She wasn't there in time to help.That blast
should have been for her.... 
   She had to punch something,there was only the wall,
so she hit it,feeling nothing at all and not at all 
surprised that her hand busted through.Setsuna walks
 up to her,
  "Picking on innocent,defenseless walls are we?",
Setsuna questions.Ki says nothing,she leans htoward the
wall and lowers her head."I'll be back Setsuna,there's
something I forgot at the house." Ki(Nakushita)takes
off in Setsuna's car... 
  About an hour later,Ki returns with a recorded 
cassette tape and a mini cassette player.She walks
into the room where Michiru aand Setsuna were now on 
either side of Haruka. She hands them to Michiru,"I'm
not good with words Michiru,never really have been,not
really,but this song,something tells me that you and 
Haruka should hear it.*Sigh*It seems to be the perfect
song for you two right now.",she again leaves the room
and sits in a chair outside the room's entrance. 
  Michiru begins to play the song,immediately,she 
recognizes that this is not the music that Nakushita
normally listens to,this song is sweet and harmonic,
not hard and loud. The lyrics started,"You're my 
sunshine after the rain.You're the cure against my 
fear and my pain.'Cause I'm losing my mind when you're
not around.It's all(It's all)because of you..."
 Michiru begins to wheep. 
(*Note, This is the chorus from 98 degrees' Because 
Of You*)
