‘thoughts’
Sighing softly as she walked away from her work, Genaisa kept
her gaze on the ground. Two days had passed and she had never felt so alone and
empty. She missed Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna badly, but knew they had all made
the right choice in where their paths were to go. She also knew that they would
see each other again. One did not make friends like that and then part ways
forever.
She was so deep into her musings that she didn’t even hear the
soft footsteps as they neared her, nor the sobbing. She stopped when she heard
the cries of a familiar voice and looked up to see Chibiusa sobbing, hugging her
Luna ball. Concerned, she went over and knelt before the sobbing child. “Chibiusa-chan?
What is wrong?” she asked gently as she placed a hand on the pink haired child’s
arm soothingly.
Chibiusa looked up as she sniffled, hiccupping on her sobs.
“W-Who are you? How d-do you know m-my name?” she asked between sobs.
Tilting her head as she smiled warmly, Genaisa said softly,
“One who had promised Hotaru that I would watch over you…and will always watch
over you and the other Sailor Senshi.”
Eyes widening in surprise, Chibiusa stared at the woman in
front of her. “K-Kinroze?” she whispered hopefully, sniffling. Shaking as the
older woman nodded, she sobbed and leapt forward, hugging her tightly. “Oh
Kinroze!! I don’t want to go back to the future!!”
Surprised, Genaisa gathered Chibiusa to her and went into the
park to sit on a bench and rock the sobbing child. “Why do you not wish to go
back?” she asked gently as she rubbed the shaking back.
“C-Cuz I’ll n-never get-t to s-see them a-again!” the little
one cried as she sobbed, soaking Genaisa’s shirt swiftly with her tears.
“Yes you will, Chibiusa-chan. The future isn’t something that
holds you to one time or place,” Genaisa whispered gently, smiling as Chibiusa
looked up at her hopefully. “It is never certain and is guided by all things.
Your time here is not that short. Believe in what will be and take heart,” she
said warmly as she wiped away the final tears.
Smiling as she sniffled and nodded, Chibiusa hugged Genaisa
again. “Arigato, Kinroze,” she mumbled before getting up and running off.
Shaking her head as she smiled, Genaisa got up and sighed. She
hoped it would be as simple as that.
*~~**~~*
Chibiusa sniffled as she ran down the park stairs, needing to
get away from the others. She knew they meant well, but when it was all said and
done, she had to go on her own. She slowed as she looked up, seeing Kinroze
before her. “Kinroze.”
“Hai, Chibiusa-chan. I have my own gift for you,” Kinroze said
as she came forward, then knelt down, offering a small box with a golden rose on
it. “So you remember that all friendships, big or small, last forever,” she
whispered warmly.
Looking down at the box, Chibiusa blinked, and then looked up
at Kinroze. She hugged her tightly, sniffling. “Arigato…Kinroze.” She leaned
back and smiled hopefully. “Onegai? Can I…know your name?” she asked sweetly,
smiling.
Smiling back as she chuckled, Kinroze nodded. “Hai. You met me
once…in the hospital. My name is Chiba Genaisa,” she replied softly, eyes gentle
as Chibiusa gasped in shock.
“Hotaru-chan’s oneesan??” the pink haired girl squeaked out,
then beamed as Kinroze nodded. “I’ll…I’ll keep your secret, Kinroze. I promise,”
she whispered as she snuggled close.
“Arigato, Chibiusa-chan,” Kinroze murmured back, smiling as
she rubbed the little’s back. She looked over suddenly, sensing the darkness
that was welling up near the site of Mügen Academy. She looked down at Chibiusa
and whispered, “You must go now, Chibiusa. And may our paths cross again.”
“Hai. Arigato, Genaisa-san. I hope you and Haruka-san and
Michiru-san are reunited soon,” Chibiusa replied cheerfully as she smiled up at
Kinroze as the golden Senshi stood up. She beamed as Kinroze smiled at her
before leaving swiftly. Chibiusa looked around and sighed softly as she held up
her key and began chanting. Time to go home…
*~~**~~*
Watching silently as the Inner Senshi fought against the
Daimon, Kinroze felt sorrow within her. It was so meaningless sometimes just to
continue. She looked up as she saw them getting shocked and knew she had to
move. As Sailor Moon was grabbed around the neck, she went into the attack,
grinning as Chibimoon appeared.
As Sailor Moon protected the pink haired Sailor Senshi, she
threw a rose, knocking the Daimon onto its back. “A pure heart is something to
be cherished for all time. Sailor Moon…show this Daimon what your pure heart can
do,” she said softly as she stood by. Stepping back as Sailor Moon disposed of
the Daimon, she knew that they had found their hearts once more.
She watched as the sun rose slowly, feeling her own heart ease
in its loneliness. She chuckled as she heard the Sailors tickling Chibimoon
before a letter appeared. She turned; stepping away as she heard Chibimoon
consider what she knew had happened…that she was allowed to stay.
“Kinroze! Matte!”
Stopping as she heard the young one’s call, Kinroze turned and
smiled as Chibimoon came to her and knelt so they were on the same level. “Hai,
Chibimoon?” she asked with a grin as the Chibimoon rocked on her heels, ignoring
the ones watching them.
“Arigato, Kinroze…for guiding me. I brought this back from
mama and papa, cuz they said you would need it,” Chibimoon replied shyly as she
handed over a golden locket that held a small rose on the top.
Taking it out of curiosity, Kinroze opened it. Her face paled
before tears shone in her eyes and she smiled tearfully before hugging Chibimoon.
“Arigato, Chibimoon-chan. Arigato. Call on me anytime. I will be there,” she
whispered tearfully.
“Arigato Kinroze,” Chibimoon whispered softly as she returned
the hug tightly before stepping back.
Smiling softly as she wiped her face of the tears, Kinroze
stood and nodded before turning and heading away again. She stopped once more
though as Sailor Moon called out to her. Facing them, she cocked an eyebrow in
amusement. “Hai?”
“Won’t you tell us who you are now?” Sailor Moon asked softly
as she came forward, eyes alight with hope.
Tilting her head, Kinroze winked at them. “Iie…that is for
another time, Sailor Senshi. Until later,” she replied with a smile before
turning and walking away, disappearing as the wind blew up around them.
“She’s so mysterious. It’s almost like she likes hiding who
she is,” Mars said in exasperation, sighing.
“By the way, Chibimoon…what did you give to her that had her
so emotional?” Venus asked with a grin as she leaned in, curious.
Giggling softly, Chibimoon hummed softly as she rocked on her
heels. “Just something that she can have close to her heart,” she said with a
wide grin. She had a feeling things were going to be a lot of fun soon.
