Chapter Thirty Six.

`Not yet'

“Okay… Time to say good bye to our insolent young fellow”Usagi paled as Shishinki began to conjure his infamous razors... her previous fear and despair succumbing to anguish.

This time, the attack he would send him was going to kill Aku for sure!Aku was going to die… and all she could do was watch it!

…Just like the people in her blurred memories, Aku was going to die…

An unknown, though strangely familiar power began to awaken and flow through her veins with this unacceptable notion

Just like the people in her memories, he was going to die because of her being weak, useless and helpless.

…Just like Kanna was…

She could feel that power wanting to lash out

Aku was going to die…Aku was going to die… just like some place else, Kanna was as well.

Aku was going to die… ...before her very eyes…

“Crescentâ€•”

“No…”

“â€•BLADES!!!”

“NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Finally, the power found an exit, and exploded… Out of the blue, and triggered by her emotions, the entire area was washed by a blinding burst of sudden, amazing, beautifulHoly Light…

For someone like Usagi, for the kind of person that Usagi was, to see her care for the people she had labeled has her friends, was to be expected. Taking account of that which one would think as her supposed past, for her aura to react at one of those friends' great peril by exploding in a burst of energy was to be expected also…

What was not to be expected, was for the light to keep growing and growing steadily till it covered the whole forest, country… and then the entire planet.

It was not the power of the Silver Imperium Crystal.

It was…

…somethingelse… and different.

And it was affecting all several places at the same time.

The threads of Fate were all suddenly cut.

At the lake…

“NANI?” Byakuya cried suddenly, turning around swiftly. “THAT AURA?! …Impossible!” when he turned back to Kanna, he found that she was nowhere to be seen.

“What…? What is happening??!!!” Higurashi Kagome shouted as she struggled to keep down her skirt and pull her hair out of her face. The powerful sudden gusts that had unexpectedly arisen, just when Inuyasha was about to attempt another strike at Kanna, had left all of the, allies and enemies dumbfounded by cutting into their battle, successfully putting an end to it.

“Where the hell is this monstrous wind and light coming from?!” the angry hanyou demanded to no one, clutching tightly at his Tetsusaiga “At this rate… we're all going to be blown away!!”

“Hold on, take my hand Houshi-sama!” Sango, the demon slayer shouted as she reached out with her hand to help the monk, who was about to loose grip on the rock he was holding onto so that the wind wouldn't pull him away any further.

“S-Sango!” Miroku exclaimed as he also reached out as far as he could towards her hand so that he could grab it. Fortunately for the two of the, the demon feline Kirara immediately rushed to his side to help him back with the rest of the group. Once they were all back together, they run to take refuge from the gusts in a nearby cave, whereas Byakuya summoned his paper plane and escaped.

…Kanna had mysteriously disappeared.

Once the Inu-tachi stepped inside the cave, Miroku put on a protective barrier. “We should stay here and wait till it passes” a disheveled Inuyasha stated.

“Is it a hurricane?” Shippo asked, as dumbfounded as the adults.

“I don't know…” Sango responded.

“It has the strangest feeling to it, as if emitted by a very powerful being's aura” the monk nodded “Do you think it could be a youkai, Kagome-sama?”

“I- I'm not sure…I don't think so, it feelholy. Not just holy…but, but …divine…” the girl from the future stuttered weakly as if scandalized by her own statement, all the more none the surer than the others were.

“But what type of creature could be radiating this gruesome holy power?” was what Miroku couldn't begin to fathom.

Not knowing what to answer, the others chose to remain silent.

Back in that certain part of the forest.

“No!!!!!! How can it be..?! This is… this is… not the power of the Silver Crystal!!!” an almost hysteric Shishinki yelled as he fought to keep his own protective youkai barrier up with his staff.

If the barrier was broken, the growing holy aura would surely end up purifying him, it would be his end! Gazing at his former targets, he saw that the girl had been covered and surrounded in a cocoon of light, inside of which the outline shadow of her oddly bigger and more grown up bent figure of a woman could be seen, floating.

How was she capable to possess such boundless power?!

“Usagi…sama…” Aku mumbled as he felt himself slowly returning back to consciousness, in the same manner that his protÃ©gÃ©e had done only minutes before him; his wounds healed.

He still couldn't understand what had happened.

Meanwhile, inside the cocoon of light, the female that they'd all previously known as Usagi was struggling with her resurfacing memories.

`Please, not now… not yet!'

Trying to fight them back into the farthest back of her mind.

`…It's too early!'

But her hair had already turned silver. Her naked form had already been bathed in a suit of clear light.

`No…'

A long staff on her hand, and then a silver cape and wings appeared falling down her back.

`No…'

A star replaced the crescent birthmark on her forehead…

`No! … I don't want to; I like it here… …I don't want to remember yet!'

`Is it truly what you want…Cosmos? …To remain in thismuch simpler form? To continue beingTsukino Usagi, and Princess Serenity…for anotherwhile longer?' a soft childlike voice asked inside her mind.

`Yes…it is all that I want…what I want right now. To remain as Usagi… …if it's just for a little more'

`So be it…then' the voice conceded.`Though it can notbe forever…'

As if a consequence of those words, the majority of the boundless power retracted back from its wandering above the whole planet and was reabsorbed into her body…the staff, cape and star insignia quickly disappeared, the moon crescent showing back in it's original place instead; her now silver hair returned to its former lustrous golden…her body was turned back to its previous height of a teenager and her feathery wings were the only thing that somehow stayed as her body suit was also replaced once she took the form of a lower, more average sailor soldier.

…Eternal Sailor Moon.

To Be Continued.

A/N: Those who are Sess-fans don't worry, his reaction will come in the next chapter. This one was kinda short… but worthwhile, don't you think? “All those who weren't expecting this raise your hand up…” (Jay FicLover raises her hand with an embarrassed sweat drop). Chuckle… Now I know what they mean when they say that the “story's developed a life of its own”, LOL.
